Too Many Latinos/Blacks Eligible for Admission:UC Changing Admission Criteria

University of California regents are likely to vote this week to  clamp down on the percentage of high school students eligible to attend UC by  raising the minimum grade point average required for admission from a B-minus  to a B. The state's budget crisis prompted the university to reject 7,600  students who had been eligible for admission in the coming academic year,  asking them to attend community colleges for two years. The move, which was  wildly unpopular, has spurred efforts to shrink the eligibility pool so that  the university won't have to do that again.
