For the first time, Latinos are now the largest group of prospective freshmen accepted into the University of California for fall 2020, part of the most diverse first-year UC class ever admitted, according to preliminary data released Thursday.
Latinos slightly eclipsed Asian Americans for the first time, making up 36% of the 79,953 California students offered admission. Asians made up 35%, whites 21% and Black students 5%. First-generation students made up 45% of those admitted and low-income students, 44%.
Overall, the UC system’s nine undergraduate campuses offered seats to 119,054 freshmen, up from 108,178 last year. The campuses also admitted 28,074 transfer students, including the largest-ever class from the California Community Colleges system. The admission rate for all campuses rose to 69%.
“This has been an incredibly challenging time as many students have been making their college decision in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said UC President Janet Napolitano. “UC continues to see increased admissions of underrepresented students as we seek to educate a diverse student body of future leaders. The incoming class will be one of our most talented and diverse yet, and UC is proud to invite them to join us.”
UC Berkeley led all campuses in boosting admission offers to underrepresented minorities, accepting the largest number of Black and Latino students in three decades and a 40% increase over last year. The increase reflects an intensified push by the one of the nation's premier public research universities to open its doors more widely to students of diverse racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds. Berkeley also admitted more students who are low-income, lack immigration status or are the first in their families to attend college.

Viva La Raza....
Now the world is a perfect place.
They ain't learned nothing in 12 years of lower education, it's not going to hurt them to get another 4 years on not learning in a higher education system.
Until one day.
Their affirmative-action degrees in affirmative-action disciplines will serve them well when it comes time to pay back their student loans.
But expecting them to pay back their loans would be so white-supremacist.
“whites 21%”
In other words, the descendants of the people who built those universities are now a small minority in them, and an invading army of foreigners who had nothing to do with the creation of the entire system have simply taken over via agitation and discrimination in favor of them.
Virtually all the “Latinos” (er, Mexicans) will be shown to have significantly lower credentials, and the university admissions are being slanted towards them as the article admits, in violation of Proposition 209.
Which they are currently trying to repeal.
No longer considered elite
I think it was Will Rogers who said, "Men learn in three ways. Some learn by reading about others' experiences. Others learn by observing others' experiences. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves."
These women and their fellow Latinas and Latinos are going to have to experience the pain of peeing the electric fence known as Socialism for themselves.
Embrace the suck, amigas y amigos.
“The increase reflects an intensified push by the one of the nation’s premier public research universities to open its doors more widely to students of diverse racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds. Berkeley also admitted more students who are low-income, lack immigration status or are the first in their families to attend college.”
And was there a commensurate increase of SAT/ACT scores for this stellar entering class?
Good to see they accepted a few token white students. ;-)
Those tests are the legacy of white supremacy.
It is the color of your skin that matters these days....
:-(
Only 5 percent are blacks. Blacks are going to be so screwed in so many ways due to the United States becoming Latino.
Ready to fight in the revolution no doubt
“Now the world is a perfect place.”
Not quite, there are still 21% whites spoiling the place.
They’re going to need ‘affirmative action’ for Whites in California.
Since California is still 60% white, seems they can file a racial discrimination suit and demand diversity.
Don’t worry, the Africans will figure out that one and claim that the whites had their time, so just block them out and admit more of them.
Rather Latinos rather than non-US Asians - filthy foreign Indians and Communist Chinese. Asian-Americans get shafted as they are included amongst foreign Asian trash.
“They’re going to need ‘affirmative action’ for Whites in California”
That’s what Art Torres said 20 years ago.
While sneering that his invasion force would overwhelm Los Gringos soon enough.
Buried in the article is this...
“The Board of Regents voted this year to phase out SAT and ACT tests as admission requirements because they are heavily influenced by race, income and parental education level.”
