The University of California Council supports the abolition of equal rights admission of Asian students will be affected

　　China News Service, June 16th, according to the US "World Daily" report, more than 20 years after the affirmative measures have been adopted in public schools, the University of California (UC) Council unanimously supported the abolition of Proposal No. 209, which was in 1996 A state proposal that prohibits preferential treatment by government agencies based on race, ethnicity, or gender. The proposal is accused of causing a decline in increased campus diversity.

　　The controversial ACA-5 bill has been approved by the California House of Representatives recently. If the Senate approves it before June 25, it will be voted statewide on November 3. The case will abolish Proposition 209, clearing the way for affirmative action measures, so that it can be used again to enroll students, hire, and publicly employ and sign contracts at the University of California system.

　　Increasing the headmaster Janet Napolitano (Janet Napolitano) and all ten campus principals as well as faculty, college students and graduate management institutions have expressed support for ACA-5.

　　The memo issued by Napolitano’s office stated, “Despite nearly 20 years of hard work and attempts at the University of California’s racially neutral enrollment, the school’s efforts to recruit underrepresented groups, as well as faculty and staff of color, still Fails to reflect the diversity of California's population."

　　ACA5's new proposal requires the abolition of "Proposal 209". Proposal 209 is a constitutional amendment passed by the voters in 1996 that prohibits consideration of race and gender in public education, employment, and contracting government projects. ACA5 hopes to repeal Proposal 209 , Instead of using the quota ratio of ethnic population as the basis, for admission, employment and contract signing of government institutions in California public universities. The sponsor of the proposal asked the California legislature to put the ACA5 proposal in the November 2020 general election referendum. This means that if it passes, the California Public University may ignore the grades of the applicants when considering the admission process and allocate them according to the population ratio, which will have a great impact on Asian students who have always performed well, and the Asian population accounts for only about 15% of the population in California.
