  1. Lunavossxo: unbelievable they're fighting this at all, feels like such a transparent attempt
  2. Webernoah: don't you think they're taking this very seriously...given the scrutiny around affirmative action lately?
  3. Jonasm: Berkeley's always claimed to lead the way in diversity and inclusion, but this allegations raises questions about how far they're willing to take that ideal
  4. Dusk Raven: talking point this week has been UC admissions but when I was reading about these investigations I started wondering what's next for affirmative action in california courts
  5. Vera: Compliance with one law doesn't necessarily mean you're not breaking another
  6. Mila: I'm not really sure how a place that's supposed to be about justice can get away with being so opaque. The way they're trying to spin this is just ridiculous
  7. Quiet Talon: what's the actual data on how much this affects applicant pools?
  8. Velvet Phantom: I'm surprised they're just finding this out now, given the admissions scandals plaguing private colleges too
  9. Zoe: some law schools just can't get out of their old ways i guess
  10. Umbra Signal: this is exactly what I feared would happen after Prop 209 went down
  11. Noel: you'd think they'd know better, given recent lawsuits against Harvard and UCLA
  12. Brunob: this whole thing sounds like a mess, can't have admissions decisions based on one factor like that
  13. Ember Lynx: nothing on race-based admissions at law schools to me though - this is all kinda politics now
