Cheating: An Insider’s Report on the Use of Race in Admissions at UCLA
Tim Groseclose
Because of California’s Proposition 209, public universities such as UCLA cannot use race as a factor in admissions. However, as this book shows, UCLA gives significant preferences to African Americans, while it discriminates against Asians.
The author, a professor of political science and economics at UCLA, documents what he witnessed as a member of UCLA’s faculty oversight committee for admissions. He also describes findings from a UCLA internal report as well as statistics from a large data set that he has posted online.
All show that UCLA is breaking the law. The discrimination is not simply a byproduct of class-based preferences. For instance, for one aspect of the admissions process, a rich African American’s chance of admission is almost double that of a poor Asian, even when the two applicants have identical grades, SAT scores, and other factors.
