UC Outreach

I applaud the news that “UC Proposes Push to Ready Disadvantaged for College” (May 21) and the expansion of outreach programs that would result. The problem is that these programs will not begin to fill the gap produced by the abolition of affirmative action programs this year.
The 83% decrease in minority admissions at the law school in Berkeley is only the beginning--it will be many years before the outreach programs develop to the point where they will be able to significantly counteract the demise of affirmative action. During this time thousands of students will fall through the cracks. The abolition of affirmative action was clearly premature.
