Berkeley’s director of undergraduate admissions, Pamela Burnett, said, “As the more competitive campuses become more competitive, it will be more difficult for under-represented students to be admitted in ever larger numbers than they are now.” (From an article sent by reader Fred Ray.)
Well, yes.
From the same article:
Berkeley student Ronald Cruz, an organizer for a pro- affirmative action group called BAMN, said the latest figures from Berkeley and UCLA showed “growing resegregation . . . as black, Latino and Native American students are tracked to less prestigious schools. This is unacceptable in an increasingly diverse state like California.”
Actually, it’s clear that what Cruz opposes is not racial tracking, but the absence of racial tracking.
