The University of California is expecting its most diverse class ever.
Data for student admissions released Wednesday shows the number of Latino and African-American students has increased, and the fall 2024 class of first-year students is at an all-time high.
"When you graduate and go out into the world, they're going to be reacting with students who may see the world differently than them," said Gary Clark, the associative vice chancellor for UCLA enrollment management.
"And I think it's important for them to have that experience as an undergraduate, to be well-prepared for whatever comes next."
Race and ethnicity are only part of the incoming diversity. The data also shows growth in the number of students admitted from low-income backgrounds -- close to 41%. The percentage of first-generation students grew to 43%. Gender identity was included in the data for the first time, and it showed about 5% of admitted students identify as nonbinary or transgender or choose not to disclose.
"I think it's important for different ideas to be bouncing around a room like that," said Dexter Mack, an undergrad researcher at UCLA and a student at Santa Monica College. "If it's all the same thing and a stagnant ideal, you have this like cult ideology, nothing else is different. So, I think different is good."

I’m thinking iconic bar scene from first Star Wars.
Half the students at Berkeley are Asian. Is that diversity? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what one means by diversity. Maybe it’s best not to use the word at all.
“associative vice chancellor”
Not sure what that is supposed to mean.
Diversity is a euphemism for no white people. They don’t care if they are all from Mars so long as they aren’t white
Can they read and do math at college level? Asking for a friend.
And what about standards. Will you be lowering them so as to show high graduation rates?? What majors are they signed up for - mathematics, economics, pre med ....

Largest and most diverse = least qualified
Great. We have to fly a lot and I can’t till we hear....”Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, this is Sheniqua Jefferson, I’m your captain for this flight to ........so sit back and enjoy the flight”

I suspect my class was inherently inferior due to melanin deficiency.
“When you graduate and go out into the world, they’re going to be reacting with students who may see the world differently than them,”
This “associative vice chancellor” of a university should be arrested and held without bail by the grammar police.
Obviously a “VP Word Salad” acolyte.
SMH
students who gained admission due to their skin color will now be required to produce.
this’ll be interesting.
How many are from countries imbued with racist Jew hatred and which oppress Christians? How many will riot in support of terrorism.?
UCLA is nothing more than a glorified junior college. Berkeley is next if it accepts mediocre students in the true sciences. (The so-called Social Sciences have been a joke and Marxist dominated for quite some time.)
now this is important, lets celebrate stupidity
In other words, white students are going to other colleges.
The most damning credential Kamela Harris posseses is that she is from California.
California is killing America
(apologies to California Freepers who are powerless and innocent bystanders)
BTW......... Where is Zorro?
Did they offer the percent illegal?
