According to the Los Angeles Times, Asian Americans have remained the largest ethnic group admitted across the UC system since 2010. The group also has the highest freshman admission rate, recording 69% last fall above Whites (59%), Latinos (53%) and Blacks (45%).
Last year, Asian Americans made up 29.1% of UC admissions, ahead of Latinos (23.2%), Whites (22.8%) and Blacks (4.15%). The figures are higher at more competitive campuses, with Asian Americans making up 40% at Berkeley, 35.5% at Los Angeles, 36.5% at Irvine and 35.7% at San Diego.
“The Regents even refused to provide AACSC with the exact data fields that it had previously provided to Sander,” the suit said. “The stonewalling, misdirection, filibustering, and ultimate refusal to provide information demonstrates the Regents’ deep and pervasive lack of transparency.”
Sander believes that the UC system discriminates against Asian Americans based on a 2014 report, which reviewed UCLA’s admissions from Fall 2007 to Fall 2011.
Looking at the applicants’ race and identifying successful admissions under standard criteria, the report found that “Whites, African Americans, and Latinos are overrepresented among those admitted and Asian American applicants are underrepresented.”
