UCLA Medical School is facing allegations of ignoring California's affirmative action ban by admitting less qualified black and Hispanic students over more qualified white and Asian applicants. Critics argue that this practice has been ongoing for decades within the University of California system. Legal experts suggest that if the allegations are substantiated, the institution could face significant legal repercussions, including potential class action lawsuits and personal liability for individuals involved, such as Ms. Lucero. The controversy has reignited debates over affirmative action policies and the legal frameworks governing state school admissions in California, especially in light of the 1996 initiative and recent SCOTUS precedent.

This is sufficiently willful behavior that not only should UCLA Medical School be looking at a massive class action by rejected applicants, but Ms. Lucero should be personally liable as well. See excerpt below. So when it came time for the admissions committee to consider one… https://t.co/c86U61717L
