From Inside Higher Education: “The University of California, Los Angeles, enrolled record-high numbers of first-time underrepresented minority students this fall: a 5 percent increase in Black enrollment and a 4 percent bump in Latino students, according to university data released last Wednesday. White enrollment declined by about 9 percent. … Affirmative action was banned in California nearly 30 years ago by referendum … Over the next two decades, the university invested heavily in recruitment and financial aid to diversify its applicant pool. UCLA associate vice chancellor of enrollment management Gary Clark told the Los Angeles Times that those strategies played a large role in the diversity bump this fall.”
