Stand up for California resident students

STAND UP FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENT STUDENTS

SUMMARY

The University of California is currently engaging in discriminatory admission practices that deny equality of educational opportunity to approximately 10,700 highly qualified (best and brightest) California resident students each year, in violation of State and Federal laws and the University of California's Master Plan for Higher Education. As a result, the families of California resident students are financially harmed, while the University of California is unjustly enriched. Since 2013, Janet Napolitano, as President of the University of California has unilaterally used the California University system to promote a political agenda that seeks to re-distribute wealth and use affirmative action to increase educational opportunities for minority groups based on race, gender and sexual orientation.

When a "highly qualified" California resident student, (top 12.5% of high school graduating class); is denied admission to their school of choice and placed in a referral pool and offered UC Merced as their only UC admission offer, 99.1% of these students fail to enroll. So it is by design, that the University of California is creating a "false choice", so that the UC can sell 10,700 seats per year to out-of-state and international students at a profit of $75,000 per seat ($803 million per year). The University then uses that money to fund the University's new TAG "Transfer Admission Guarantee" program, which offers a "real" guarantee to California community college transfer students with much lower GPA's and test scores based on a "holistic review" of their applications.

The University of California has once again changed its admission policies for California resident students. For 2020 Graduates, the State will only guarantee a seat at a UC for first -time freshmen from the top 9% of their graduating class both in the State and Local Context on a space available basis.

Demand that the University of California honor the access guarantee of the University of California's Master Plan for Higher Education by guaranteeing every California resident student in the top 12.5% of the State admission to a UC campus of their choice as mandated by Education Code 66202.5.

10,700 highly qualified California resident students a year are denied admission so that those seats can be sold to international and out-of-state students with lower GPA's and test scores for a profit.

Demand fair admissions for California resident students.
