This fact sheet provides a brief summary of the University Eligibility Study for the Class of 2003.

Book Description
The Postsecondary Education Commission, the California State University, and the University of California conducted a study to estimate the proportion of public high school graduates who meet the admission requirements for the two university systems. Students' high school transcripts were submitted electronically from a smaller sample of schools than in previous studies. The study found that 28.8% of the high school graduating class of 2003 were eligible for admission to the California State University and 14.4% percent were eligible for the University of California. Eligibility rates for African American and Latino graduates have shown significant improvement since the Commission conducted its last study in 1996, but they are still well below the rates for Whites and Asians. Appendices include study details, the sampling plans, and statistical results.

Book Description
Since 1983, the California Postsecondary Education Commission has conducted six studies of university eligibility of public high school graduates. The purpose of these studies is to estimate the percentage of California public high school graduates who meet the admission requirements of the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC). In May 2004, the Commission released a study reporting eligibility rates for the high school graduating class of 2003. The Commission began work on the 2001 eligibility study before the 2003 study, but completion was postponed until the 2003 study was finished. This report presents eligibility rates for the high school graduating class of 2001. Eligibility studies are conducted by collecting a random sample of transcripts from high schools throughout the state. Each transcript is reviewed by university staff to see if the pattern of courses, grades, and test scores would make a student eligible for admission. Schools were contacted in March 2002 and transcripts for the 2001 graduating class were collected over the following months. Over 13,000 transcripts from nearly 1,100 schools were evaluated. The 2001 estimates for CSU showed that the eligibility rates increased between 1996 and 2001, but fell between 2001 and 2003. This change is too large to be explained as a statistical error and must reflect real drop in CSU's eligibility rate. (Contains 13 tables and figures.).

Book Description
The Commission has started collecting data for the 2007 University Eligibility Study. This study is the latest in a series that began in 1966 to estimate the percentage of California public high school graduates who meet the admission requirements of the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC). California Education Code Section 66903 (q) directs the Commission to conduct periodic eligibility studies. The most recently completed eligibility study was for the high school graduating class of 2003. Eligibility studies are conducted by collecting a sample of transcripts from high schools throughout the State. The transcripts are reviewed by university staff to compare admission requirements with the courses, grades, and test scores of the sampled students. Statewide eligibility rates are estimated from this sample.

Book Description
The California Postsecondary Education Commission, California State University, and the University of California conducted a study to estimate the percentage of public high school graduates who meet the admission requirements for the two university systems. The study found that 13.4% of California public high school graduates were eligible for UC, and 32.7% were eligible for CSU. The UC eligibility rate has fallen since CPEC's last study in 2003, but the CSU eligibility rate has increased sharply. The gap in university eligibility between racial/ethnic groups has narrowed slightly, but eligibility rates for Black and Latino graduates are still well below the rates for Asians and Whites.
Ending Racial Preferences

Pages : 441
Book Description
In 2006, Michigan voters banned affirmative action preferences in public contracting, education, and employment. The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (MCRI) vote was preceded by years of campaigning, legal maneuvers, media coverage, and public debate. Ending Racial Preferences: The Michigan Story relates what happened from the vantage point of Toward A Fair Michigan (TAFM), a nonprofit organization that provided a civic forum for the discussion of preferences. The book offers a timely 'inside look' into how TAFM fostered dialogue by emphasizing education over indoctrination, reason over rhetoric, and civil debate over protest. Ending Racial Preferences opens with a review of the campaigns for and against similar initiatives in California, Florida, Washington, and the city of Houston. The book then delivers an in-depth historical account of the MCRIDfrom its inception in 2003 through the first year following its passage in 2006. Readers are invited to decide for themselves whether affirmative action preferences are good for America. Carol M. Allen reproduces the remarks delivered at a TAFM debate, along with a compilation of pro and con responses by 14 experts to 50 questions about preferences. This book will be of interest to those working in the fields of public policy and state politics.
