Coalition for Education and Equality

In February 2009 the UC Board of Regents adopted a new freshman admission policy that vastly expands the applicant pool and significantly reduces the historic guarantee of freshman admission for UC-eligible high school graduates from the top 12.5 percent of the California graduating class to the top 10 percent.  This new policy is slated to take effect for the fall 2012 freshman class.  In doing so, the Regents initiated a major structural change to the California Master Plan for Higher Education, established in 1960.
