Former California Congressman Doug Ose writes in the San Jose Mercury about the new admissions proposal of the diversiphiles at the University of California. It will lower admission standards but increase costs at a time when the state budget is deep in red ink.

This shows the astounding hold that the mania for “diversity” has on higher-education officials. Adding a few more “underrepresented minority” students (as if every student has to “represent” some socio-economic group) has become a Captain Ahab-style obsession.
