<p>That has more to do with a smaller percentage of URM graduating seniors meeting baseline UC eligibility than anything else.</p>

<p>What most people arguing about Proposition 209 and UC fail to realize is that these and other changes in the admission process at the UCs merely redistribute UC eligible students between the different campuses. Sure, some students may get into what they see as “more desirable” or “less desirable” campuses, but the effect on the entire UC system considered as a unit is theoretically null. Of course, some students may choose to go to UC if they get into a “more desirable” campus, or go elsewhere if they only get into a “less desirable” campus, but again this is more of a redistribution effect than anything else.</p>
