Berkeley Attempts To Circumvent Prop. 209

I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true: the University of California is trying to get around — or maybe just run roughshod over — Prop. 209’s (and now the California constitution;s) prohibition on racial preferences. It has announced a new African-American Initiative at the core of which is a $20 million scholarship fund to attract and enroll more black students … in order to make the current black students feel more “included.” Berkeley administrators claim this program does not challenge Prop. 209 “directly” because it does not involve preferences in admissions and the scholarships will be “administered” by a private group.

    How is this “morally” different than….say…the recent kerfuffle of VW recognizing the economic realities of “green” extortion, and circumventing by “teaching to the test”?
