UC starting to obey the law?

"UC Reduces Its Low-SAT Acceptances" - Reports the LA Times. Last year, we found out that the University of California system was accepting quite a number of non-athletes with SATs under 1,000 while rejecting large numbers of students with SATs over 1400 (i.e., two standard deviations higher). Obviously, this was just a subterfuge to violate the California constitution, which outlaws racial preferences. The Chairman of the UC Board of Regents, John Moores, raised a stink and he apparently got some action. So say not that the struggle nought availeth ... especially if you are a billionaire with an important official position. But even Moores had to put up with being censured for his actions attempting to enforce the state constitution. by his own Board. (Here's my profile of Moores.)
