Am I the only person who picked up on one of Birgeneau's more prophetic comments (the only one which made any sense) which sadly, is accurate:
"We're not meeting our obligation as a public institution because we're underserving in an extreme way a significant and increasingly important part of the population, which actually is going to be the majority population,"
When prop 209 passed an Asian Liberal told me that as a white I should support diversity because if it came to pure merit, UC (My alma mater) would be all Asian. I told him I did not mind as long as they kept race from becoming a criteria or a standard.
2.9 GPA isn't that terrible really for a lot of State run schools in this country, though the Elite top schools won't even look at you if you are under 3.4
So, he answers his own question inadvertently. If the "dominant" ethnicity will soon be not_dominant, then....they will be a minority! And...if they are in many professions, having been admitted to, and graduated from, a prestigious university, why...wouldn't that be wonderful?
So all he has to do is sit on his thumbs and let the future Majority flood across the border. Gosh, a liberal's dream!
Those are the groups the left use for their political ends. Keep them stirred up, brainwashed, and hate filled.
Colleges are just anti-American radical, freedom hating, indoctrination centers anymore. Bases for the lefts army.
You got that smog question right! I got my AA from RCC in '72, then left for healthier air.
Went back to Riverside in '92 to visit a friend. Couldn't see, let alone alone read, the freeway signs at 100 yards that afternoon. Didn't have to worry about being distracted or upset by any nasty views of the San Bird-doo mountains.
The color was a better: less brown, and slightly more bilious, yellow; and they seemed to improved the sharpness of the ozone tang, but at the expense of acridity....
Oh the bright side, the air should have disolved that huge, Godawful red steel "sculpture" the city mounted in the mall near the Mission Inn by now.
Only 40 black males in this years freshmen class? One would think there would be that many on athletic scholarships alone. Something does not add up hear
