Surprise, when you have to admit people on academic merit alone, the number of people who qualify don't fit your "desired ethnic mix" of students.

Citing the drop in under-represented minorities on campus, especially African Americans From what I've heard, Whites (Euro-Americans), are under-represented on campus. I've heard that 60% of the students are Asian.

Well the solution to this problem, Mr. Birgeneau, is not reverse discrimination but instead to improve the academic ability of groups that cannot meet the academic standards of UC Berkeley. That means teaching students (and their parents) in K-12 schools to value education, work hard, study hard, and stay out of gangs.

Robert Birgeneau is a racist. He's openly saying that he can't find any black students that can do the same work as whites. He should be fired.

Who appointed this cretin chancellor of Berkeley? Did Arnold have any say in the matter?

Diversity problem at Berkeley? What? Not enough Asians? Oh wait, nevermind. Asians are one of those minority groups that don't count since we do too well.
Also, just because they can't get into UC Berzerkley, doesn't mean that they can't get into college. Look at UC Riverside where I'm currently going to. Plenty of minorities here. White, Asian, Latino, Blacks, you name it, they're here in significant numbers.

Part of what I'm trying to accomplish as a new chancellor here is to say this really is a crisis,"

Birgeneau called for research into refining admissions standards and finding the best ways to create a more multicultural campus.Why?
What is the evidence that a "more multicultural campus" confers any benefit on anyone?

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,"

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
