...for Asians.
"Will Asian-Americans one day make up a majority of students at the University of California?
If the trend of the past decade continues, it just might happen.
The number of Asian-American students at University of California campuses far out paces their population increase in the state. These students attended a physics class at UC San Diego
.
This month marks the 10-year anniversary of the passage of Proposition 209, the state initiative that banned using racial preferences in public university admissions and state hiring and contracting.
At the highly competitive University of California, where grades and test scores drive admissions, the enrollment trend is clear: Asian-American student numbers have grown the most, far outpacing their population increase in the state."
It is clear that the one group who has the most negative effect from affirmative action is asian americans. There is no affirmative action in California for the last ten years so the population of the students in California state colleges has increased.
