This is just an end run around the affirmative action bad that is enshrined in the state constitution (the latest ballot initiative to overturn it lost decisively).

Elimination of tests has increased admissions of favored races (mostly blacks and latinos) at expense of Asians, who test well.

Hopefully somebody will bring a lawsuit so that SCOTUS can get a shot at whacking this mole.

Most diplomas were aleady useless anyway.

I would recommend to any white applicant to a CA state university that they claim they are Latino—a phony grandparent ethnicity should do the trick.

Create a one page “cover story”.

Let the university prove they are lying.

Let’s not allow the best minds to be admitted. We for sure
don’t want to be the best in the world at anything.

Think China runs things this way?

We are giving ourselves a major disadvantage, our enemies will
never adopt.

This only allows cronyism and corruption in admission.

I used to check “hispanic” for my kids as we can trace ancestry back to Portugal aka hispania, but we would have to go back to the 1400s and that did not turn out so well for fauxcahontas.

These are the same idiots who demand competition when it
comes to government contracts.

Well... they do that, but they also demand the competition be
short circuited so minorities get a fair shake. That means
replacing better bids to get racial balance.

Portugal is close enough....

These universities have thrown integrity and morality out the window—let them eat their own garbage.

I wonder if good ol’ market forces will intervene? That is, for someone to graduate from these schools it can be assumed that they have a sub par education. For example, many of the Ivy League schools have, for years, been quietly blacklisted for their bad policies by some corporations.

This is actually going to hurt students, both minorities and not. Some students do better on tests than classwork.

Being excellent won’t get you in. But if you have the right sex, skin color and/or sexual orientation, you’re in.

Time to forget playing by the rules—many young white folks have already figured it out—lie, lie, lie, lie.

Markes forces are blocked when almost every university receives government funds.

The U.S university environment is what someone might imagine happens in North Korea.

Yep, those degrees will be worth about as much as a used roll of toilet paper.
