Asian American Lawmakers in California Charge UC Admission Change Harmful to Asians

The Asian-American community also accuses UC of not seeking the appropriate amount of public feedback before making the decision. Rashid says anyone had the opportunity to weigh in on publicly noted Regents’ meetings when the topic was on the agenda starting in the Fall of 2008, and during six reform proposal briefings with legislators that began in June 2007.

 

“The characterization that this was sneaky or done hastily or tried to sneak it through — I have a hard time squaring that characterization when it’s not a factual record,” Rashid says.

 

The Caucus expects to hold more hearings on the policy, and urges UC to postpone or rescind the changes.

 

“I’ll keep fighting it,” Lieu says. “Obviously, I get a vote on their budget request.”
