The university eligibility of African American and Latino high school graduates in California has increased significantly in recent years. The Commission's most recent eligibility study showed that the percentage of African American high school graduates who met the minimum admission requirements of the University of California more than doubled between 1996 and 2003. The eligibility rate for Latinos also increased sharply. These gains are a very welcome development, but eligibility in itself is not a complete measure of access to public universities. The desired outcome of efforts to broaden access is that students from all ethnic back-grounds are actually entering and completing degrees at public universities. However, recent gains in eligibility have not been matched by gains in enrollments at UC and CSU. (Contains 2 tables and 9 graphs.)
