CSU Admission Rates by Ethnicity: A Comparison

During the entire 1997-98 and 2005-06 college years, the overall admission rates in the California State University (CSU) system increased. Although CSU had to abide by Proposition 209’s provisions, a comparison of 1997 and 2005 admission rates shows that the rates either increased or stayed essentially the same for all ethnicities. Underrepresented ethnicities (African American, Latino/Chicano, and Native American) gained the most from overall increased admission rates.
