Politics, Not Pragmatism, Led to U. of Calif. Vote, Say Observers.

Hilton, Keith Orlando

Black Issues in Higher Education, v12 n12 p7-9 Aug 10 1995

The University of California regents' vote to do away with race-based admission and affirmative-action hiring in the university system is controversial because of its political implications. Because of the state's ethnic diversity and demographic trends, the move is seen as potentially enhancing racial imbalance in the most socially progressive university system in the country. (MSE)
