The Empire Strikes Back!!! exclusionary Berkeley is at it AGAIN.



Check TheWoozy.com to see the report on Diversity and admissions at Berkeley. Anyone who knows anything about admissions at Berkeley knows that although it's a fact that very, very, very precious few Blacks get in, Berkeley has been commited to doing everything possible to refine admissions policy to make sure that even LESS Blacks get in.

It's a well known fact that Berkeley has been practicing their malevalent craft of racial hocus pocus and honing it and trying desperately to defeat the influx of Asians on campus. Well, they finally have their way. It's no surprise that the method they've chosen to enact isn't expected to raise Black, Latino, or lower socio-economic class levels on UC campuses, rather, the policy's primary researched outcome is to DECREASE Asian enrollment and INCREASE White enrollment. and yet, the highly intelligent, world leading, top notch, nobel laureated, big brained, richly rewarded (with public dollars) brahmin of Berkeley VOTED FOR IT UNANIMOUSLY! but of course!

This is totally consistent with what these academics, administrators (highly paid) and scholars have been doing since time began. racist policies of U.C. and copied throughout this great land of ours results in millions of under-represented groups being marginalized, starving, dying early, being unemployed, uneducated, incarcerated and murdered. That's far worse than the uncouthness of complaining about racism, and that's anyone should care about.

so, congratulations Berkeley, you've shown your true colors again.

New UC admissions policy angers Asian-Americans

(04-24) 16:32 PDT San Francisco (AP) --

A new admissions policy set to take effect at the University of California system in three years is raising fears among Asian-Americans that it will reduce their numbers on campus, where they account for 40 percent of all undergraduates.

University officials say the new standards — the biggest change in UC admissions since 1960 — are intended to widen the pool of high school applicants and make the process more fair.

But Asian-American advocates, parents and lawmakers are angrily calling on the university to rescind the policy, which will apply at all nine of the system's undergraduate campuses.

They point to a UC projection that the new standards would sharply reduce Asian-American admissions while resulting in little change for blacks and Hispanics, and a big gain for white students.

"I like to call it affirmative action for whites," said Ling-chi Wang, a retired professor at UC Berkeley. "I think it's extremely unfair to Asian-Americans on the one hand and underrepresented minorities on the other."

Asian-Americans are the single largest ethnic group among UC's 173,000 undergraduates. In 2008, they accounted for 40 percent at UCLA and 43 percent at UC Berkeley — the two most selective campuses in the UC system — as well as 50 percent at UC San Diego and 54 percent at UC Irvine.

Asian-Americans are about 12 percent of California's population and 4 percent of the U.S. population overall.

UC officials adamantly deny the intent is to increase racial diversity, and reject allegations the policy is an attempt to circumvent a 1996 voter-approved ban on affirmative action.

"The primary goal is fairness and eliminating barriers that seem unnecessary," UC President Mark Yudof said. "It means that if you're a parent out there, more of your sons' and daughters' files will be reviewed."

Yudof and other officials disputed the internal study that projected a drop of about 20 percent in Asian-American admissions, saying it is impossible to accurately predict the effects. "This is not Armageddon for Asian-American students," Yudof said.

"If there are Asian-Americans who are qualified and don't get into UC because they're trying to increase diversity, then I think that's unfair," said 16-year-old junior Jessica Peng. "I think that UC is lowering its standards by doing that."
