					<description><![CDATA[I oppose the law, but hey there is reality here.  Just because the door is wider for other minorities, does not improve their graduation rate.  I know, graduation rate at SDSU was 38% when I attended.  More than 60% dropped after 2 years (you want to guess what minority groups make up for that was?     The side door is attend community college, get good grades, and you still may get in to place those dropouts.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am an Asian and fully support SCA 5.  It&#039;s time for equal representation in universities and colleges.  I want to see the UC system represent the people of this great state, so that we may have a balanced, and representative diverse work force of the future.  

This would mean 50% Hispanics, 33% White, 12% Black, and then 5% Asians are admitted.  It is not fair that UCLA has a 45% Asian student population, it&#039;ls like going to a university in Chinatown.  Reverse it.  

The end result is this would be so much better for Asians, as it would push them to work even harder.]]></description>

Why are we against SCA-5?

SCA-5 is targeted against the minority Asian American community in California (14.9%).
Classifying students based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin undermines the principle that we all should be treated equally under the law, a cornerstone of the American society.
In the 18 years that Prop. 209 has been in effect, California has become the most diverse state in the U.S. Nothing in Prop. 209 prevents students of disadvantaged background from obtaining quality higher education.
Students are already unfairly excluded from schools because of informal quota based on race. The UC system has “already been violating the spirit of Prop. 209 by importing obvious surrogates for race into its so-called ‘holistic’ admissions process.” SCA-5 would make this worse.
Discrimination in college admissions actually harms the intended beneficiaries, by setting less-prepared applicants up for failure and hurting their chances at graduation and obtaining a college degree.
Minority graduation rates increased after Prop. 209, according to a study by Duke University, partly “because of more efficient matching, with the largest improvements occurring among less-prepared students.”
SCA-5 does not do what is needed to increase the number of black and Hispanic graduates from California colleges in the long term — increasing the quality of K-12 education for everyone.
SCA-5 could be used to limit the number of women allowed in California public universities — in 2010, the UC system admitted 95,403 women and only 84,178 men.
SCA-5 assumes that college admissions are a zero-sum game and does nothing to solve the root problem of insufficient educational resources — as the population continues to grow, the state needs more spaces for affordable college education.
Children who are intelligent and hard-working deserve equal opportunity in education, regardless of their race. Our national interest is best served only if the best and the brightest of our children, regardless of their race, are given equal opportunity to pursue their educational dreams. Only a merit- based education system will enable our country to maintain its competitive advantage in the world.]]></description>
