US EditionUniversity of California student group alleges racial discrimination in admissions
- A lawsuit filed by Students Against Racial Discrimination claims the University of California favors Black and Latino students over Asian American and White applicants in admissions, alleging racial discrimination in violation of state law and the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause.
- The lawsuit asks a judge to block the University from asking about race in applications and to appoint a monitor for admission decisions, stating that all students are harmed by the University's practices.
- According to the complaint, UC's holistic review process moves away from objective criteria, leading to a decline in admission rates for Asian American and White applicants compared to Black and Latino applicants.
- The suit follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down affirmative action, and the plaintiffs argue that UC's practices violate Proposition 209 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits racial discrimination in federally funded programs.
