QUOTAS

May 2, 1997. Four-year old Keeley Hunter, Asian-Caucasian applied for
admission to the Corrine A. Seeds University Elementary school,
publically funded, operated by UCLA's Graduate School of Education.
Citing "research needs" it selects students based on race and
ethnicity to reflect California's public school population. Keeley
was allowed to complete only for one of the 8 slots for "Other
(Multi-Ethnic)" and was denied admission in 1995. According to PLF
"there is no moral or legal justification for an admissions policy
that requires the ethnic makeup of a student body to be
proportionally representative of the sate's overall population" even
for research purposes (this is silly anyways, there are NO schools in
California that match the state population anyway, they either have
much more or much less than average) Her parents are suing the school
over racial discrimination.
