The University of California improperly admitted dozens of students based on their personal or family connections to donors and university staff, the state auditor announced Tuesday
The audit conducted on the University of California's admissions process found UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, and UC Santa Barbara unfairly admitted a total of 64 applicants between 2013 and 2019. "By admitting 64 noncompetitive applicants, the university undermined the fairness and integrity of its admissions process and deprived more qualified students of the opportunity for admission," California State Auditor Elaine Howle said in a statement.
The University of California campuses admitted 22 of the 64 students through their student-athlete admissions processes, even though the students did not have the athletic qualifications to compete at the universities, Howle said. UC Berkley unfairly admitted 42 who were connected to staff and donors.The report released Tuesday said these applicants were less qualified than many others for whom the campus denied admission.
