Though the U.S. Supreme Court decided that race cannot be a factor in admissions, California could provide a model for how to foster diversity while not running afoul of the law.
At the public University of California, which includes more than 290,000 students across 10 campuses, administrators have adopted alternative criteria for recruiting and evaluating students from diverse backgrounds without explicitly asking questions about race.
Asian students are 16% of California's population and 32% of the student population in the UC system. At Pomona College, a private university in Southern California, admissions officials have relied heavily on affirmative action in the 27 years since California banned it for institutions that receive state funding. The elite liberal arts college, with an enrollment of 1,747 students, combines outreach, recruitment and academic review to vet prospective students.
Even so, Pomona College's student population does not fully reflect the diversity of Los Angeles County, where Latinos make up 49% of the total population but just 18% of students there.
