Changes were initiated in the UCLA admissions process, resulting in a 100% increase in African American freshman admissions in a single year.
This ended a decline in African American admissions in the 10 years since the passage of Proposition 209.
UBAA will continue to employ aggressive advocacy for just and equitable admissions policy and practice. This strategy, however, will be complemented by equally aggressive capacity building within the African American community aimed at:
Mobilizing school administrators, counselors and teachers
Empowering students, parents and the community.
Our mission is produce a population of highly capable, holistically competitive African American high school graduates while demanding that public colleges and universities recognize and reward them for their achievements.
