Considering this is the Sun paper i'm surprised they haven't found a way to blame Bush or 'the republican controlled congress' for this yet.

Panic! Crisis! I'm imagining administrators running around in circles crying, "Blacks!! We need more blacks!! Where can we find some blacks??"

Since when do you HAVE to have a degree to make it in this world? I know several people who have jobs with salaries that blow away what some of the people with degrees make!!
In this country - you can make it with hard work and doing what you have to do in order to succeed.
Some are just not college material and apprenticeships, etc suit them better.

Ward Connerly, the former UC regent who was an architect of Proposition 209, said the issue was not the law. "The problem - and this is an old song, I know - starts with the small number of black students who are academically competitive," he said. Ward Connerly is a good man - but hated by the lib blacks - he's "off" the reservation -actually puts the blame on the students, like Cosby does.

The situation is too late to fix by the time these kids get to college, they are too far behind and need too much remedial help. Letting in sub-par students so that they fail and drop out helps no one.
If anything is to be done it has to be at the grade school and middle school level.

No need to get alarmed over seeing fewer black students in colleges...there just are fewer of them graduating high school...

We are approaching the point, if not already past it, at which time we will have to choose between excellence in academe or inclusion. Discussions already classify 1st, 2nd and 3rd tier academic institutions. Furthermore, we cannot complain about performance among our students vis a vis other countries, while at the same time proving the point in such instances as this entering UCLA class: either you can cut it or not.

Just change the definition of "black" to "colored", and count asians as blacks. That'll boost the numbers.

I thought admissions to the various Cal campuses was suppose to be racially blind. So how do they know how many of each race is going to enroll? Also this article did not gave the breakdown of enrollment by sex. They must have this if they know what is by race.

And of the black freshmen who have indicated they will enroll in the fall, 20 are recruited athletes,20% of black students go to college on scholarships?
Where's the equality in that?

I swear, the charicature of the self-loathing liberal... is not a charicature. Their reality is more pathetic than any skilled demagogue can parody or ridicule with satire.

Oddly enough, right here on Free Republic you can hear other people complaining about the decrease in male students at college and blaming the system.

I wonder if somewhere in the article it should have mentioned the 'anti-academic' attitude of many black students who put peer pressure against students who try to achieve academically for 'acting white.'
If you have a generation that turns away from academics as a way up and out of the ghetto and the lower economic class, then you are going to reap the whirlwind of lower applications and fewer qualified students, especially at schools who traditionally have had fine reputations for academic excellence.

I just have to think that there's money involved somehow. More gubmint funds if they meet a quota, perhaps?
Otherwise, if they've got a full student body, what's the problem?

"Clearly, we're going to have to meet this crisis by redoubling our efforts, which have not yielded the results we'd like to see," said Chancellor Albert Carnesale Yes, obviously this is a problem with the recruiters, not the candidates themselves.
