University of California votes to restore affirmative action nearly 24 years after it was outlawed

The unanimous decision was reached by the school's Board of Regents on Monday, nearly 24 years after it was outlawed by Proposition 209, which banned the consideration of race and gender in admissions in California.By voting, the university endorsed its repeal. The board also voted in favor of an amendment which would repeal Proposition 209 and provisions prohibiting the state from granting favorable treatment to anyone on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or nationality.

The college admissions scam opens a new front in the affirmative action debateAffirmative action refers to a set of policies and laws intended to combat that discrimination while promoting diversity in schools and workplaces. Supporters say it levels the playing field, promotes a healthy multicultural society and helps compensate for centuries of racial, social and economic oppression.

Liberals try to start another race war

Proposition 209 is a 1996 law that mirrors civil rights act and prohibits CA gov entities from giving preferential treatment to individuals on the basis of race, sex, or ethnicity. So, in 1996 they were wrong for thinking that discrimination is a bad practice

Great. ..

More quotas and you wonder why there is such animosity in America. One side has to work hard and then gets turned away so that another on less merit can be rewarded. How about a true blind to color merit system?

How about you pick the best applicants with no question about your race. Oh wait, that would be fair.

How about just making the damn cost to attend university lower? At this point it’s just rich chinese parents sending kids to UCs in California.

So will it refer to transsexuals also? I would LOVE to see Harvard's Valedic as a tranny. For the whole world to see America's progress. A former male, with respective genital on stage, dressed as a woman addressing graduating class with respect and honor!

Taking out the gender and race box for equality makes sense, it should be based on the qualities of the student

Affirmative Action is racist

That’s racist!

Soooo, we will judge college applicants, not by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin? Dr. King would be so proud!

how come can race be taken into consideration when it comes to academic research?!! I think It's going to be easy for other countries to surpass U.S. Being a riot and jobless, is the best way to survive in U.S. Let's see what brainless ppl can do, hahaha.

Academic achievements cannot be made by 'equality'

Basically, they're being racist against Asians, as do best on scholastic work

Remember only 10% of each race allowed. Asian isn't 10% either. Japan, China, Korean each get a slice.

California💩hole

As great Lenin said communism can win in one separate country ( state). Bravo , .university professors are more dangerous people because of lock of thinking

Wow. I think that is a University issue. Maybe you want to address the high asian and hispanic attendance they have.

Absolutely

What should we expect coming from CALIFORNIA ? Not much

OMG. We are going. BACKWARDS. let the black kids use the color of their skin to bypass more qualified students. Plain crazy. Black kids should be embarrassed by getting a pass like that. Total BS

Congressman gov vietnam 2020 vs 2021

根据种族而不是这个人是否优秀来录取，这才是真正的种族歧视

Coming soon to a college near you

Wow SO Democrats do NOT believe treating all equal is important. Wow

So if I am black I will get preference over whites and that is not racists?

BANN CNN and its FAKE GARBAGE DEM NEWS

Another evidence that liberals and leftists are the most ignorant and racist people. Indians and Chinese who have lived under centuries of oppression but do not whine all day are going to be screwed again.

Once again - a Liberal system telling Blacks - You cannot make it without our help. This is the Definition of Oppression!🤦

I thought it was all about the content of your character🤔

Oh ya this is a good idea!!! NOT!! I thought we judy had a bunch of protest saying the blacks want to be treated equal? So, taking a spot in College from a person most likely more qualified is the Answer? I think we’re going backwards !!!

Affirmative Action may have been a great thing for African Americans to rise overall in society. But like every thing else a Black cause or intended helping hand it is always hijacked. Changed AA to read minorities not just African American. Real reparations it would read just AM

yay! no more Asians in colleges!!

'The goal of affirmative action [...] is to eliminate discrimination in the admissions process' But... isn't that causing discrimination in the admissions process? It's essentially giving preference to certain races.

eh, affirmative action ain't that bad, but what if a school does it on its own? should they have to have it enforced? it might not be as good.

Are they going to ban the practise, where parents bribe officials to gain admission advantage for their children over other hardworking students as well?

Progress to regress

More bull sh..! Oh man... the silent majority will not go down like a puss.

This is real RACISM.

I think students should apply by number only. No name, no race. base it on grades, experience and accomplishments only. Once a confirmed spot is provided, the student can provide that information, if requested, with their tuition

UC and Stanford suck. Just darken your skin color or copy blm for 100 times , u can get in.too easy! Yaky and disgusting!

Well then, they should re-name it as well. Affirmative racism.

'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character...except in California.' Martin Luther King, Jr.

So basically the University of California is being racist against anyone who doesn’t have the right skin color. It goes against what’s written in the constitution. I see the starting of many lawsuits. Good luck! LOL

Studies have shown that Afirmative Action actually hurts the minority students that get in. Students who aren’t qualified for a top tier 4 year school and get in because of race are more likely to fail and dropout. They are better off in the college that suits their skill level.

WhitePrivilege...

Worry about UCB students quality

Get rid of the illegals

(((Diversity)))

Serbia`s mafia is giving weapons to terrorist!

I suspect there’s going to be a ton of applicants that will be “identifying” as a minority soon. Problem solved.

realDonaldTrump wtf!? racist

That's news?

Great lower the bar, all should be equal.

Wait Trump and Righties will be going to court against this for sure

Affirmative Action, no SAT's/ACT's, cutting Asian Admissions. Nice.

When white women benefit from Affirmative Action. It always the least informed....

So does that mean admissions and sports teams makeup will mirror society?😂😂😂

bad move

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

affirmative action does not work

If it worked so well, why did they abandon it the last time around?

Is there somewhere we can banish all the left wingers to

California IS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

Idiots

Wow . This is becoming all bulshit. Is the big step backwards. Everyone should have the same advantage regardless of race.

Oh good. Back to judging people based on the color of their skin. Leftist literally know not what they do. Poor education really coming back to bite us finally.

They going to introduce black and white drinking fountains next

CNN is the Enemy of the People. Keep people divided. Keep people angry. Keep manipulating public opinion. Blame conservatives for the problems in our urban centers, which have been ruled solely by Democrats for decades. Media will have a reckoning, and that day will come soon.

Racist

I demand a refund $$$

So, Asians are about to get shafted again. The same Asians that are on average the most successful in 'white supremacist' America. Someone is racizing poorly somewhere, geesh

Interesting.

Damn, so I wasted my time researching Bakke v U. Cal-Davis for a high school paper in the early 1980s for nothing?

They shouldn’t consider race or gender. Acceptance should be based on grades.

Stop putting boxes next to “race”. It’s racist.

How about getting some affirmative action quota in those sports leagues?

So USC is going to start declining ppl bc of their race. Almost seems like the Left are going backwards. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. And reports it like its a good thing. Stfu

UC regents to consider backing affirmative actionThe UC president, all 10 campus chancellors, and faculty, graduate and undergraduate governing bodies support repealing Prop. 209, passed in 1996. I hope we can back right out of public funding. Education vouchers for private colleges would solve this problem as well. So they can displace qualified students and admit more unqualified minorities who end up dropping out most of the time. The regents are retarded Why are they dressed and styled like communists?

24 Hour Fitness permanently shuts nearly a quarter of its gyms24 Hour Fitness Worldwide Inc. has permanently closed 100 locations, the gym chain said on its website. About a third of the closures are in California. The closures come after the Wall Street Journal reported last week that the company has laid off a number of workers in multiple states, as it struggles with the financial impact of gym closures due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Journal previously reported 24 Hour Fitness was seeking financing to stay afloat during a possible Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Last week, the company said it hoped to have 50% of its locations back open by June. Prior to the closures, 24 Hour Fitness had more than 400 gyms in 14 states, with around 22,000 employees.
