Right you are Comrade Yudof! It's always fairer when less qualified applicants are accepted over more qualified ones.

The UC system must keep statistics on the fail rate of lesser qualified entrants. I suspect it correlates well.
My son started this year at UCSD in engineering and was shocked at how many really smart people there were there.
He was pretty much accustomed to being a big fish at his high school. After the initial shock, he decided he likes being around smart people.
He’s having a great time and doing really well.
Code for 'the primary standard will now be color of skin'
The real question is.....how many of these are illegal and paying less for a UC education than Americans from outside California?
Fairness = letting in the “oppressed minorities” who didn’t score well enough to get in on their own. Asians and Whites do well, and still cannot get accepted because of the Diversity folks say that achievement and sacrifice are subordinate to skin pigment and Communist Social Engineering.
Look at all industries affected by AA, they all suffer due to the advancement of those unqualified and untested (un-fireable).
I wonder when whites are minority if they will be afforded preferential treatment into colleges in 20 years? Highly doubtful.
