Thousands of students rallied March 8 at the University of California at Berkeley demanding the board of regents repeal the ban on affirmative action. On March 14 more than 1,000 protested at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), including high school students. "We live in such a diverse city, but our university does not represent that at all," said UCLA student Hiliana López. The numbers of those from oppressed nationalities enrolled at UCLA has dropped significantly since the board eliminated the school's affirmative action policy. |
