The possibly-landmark U Michigan Affirmative Action ruling comes down this week. As usual, Berkeley's experience is used as a textbook example of declining minority enrollment.
Before California banned the use of race in 1995, 222 black students had enrolled out of 3,405 freshman at the University of California-Berkeley. That compares with 141 blacks out of 3,655 freshman in 2002 enrolled under a top 4-percent plan.Strange how relevant this ruling seems to Berkeley. Certainly the Daily Cal thought so, sending reporters at expense to cover the case hearing + the antics surrounding it. And yet not only has California been operating under Prop 209 for ages, but it's pioneered a wide blaze of semi-race-neutral policies. Race preferences are dead, buried, and gone.Email This Post! |
