• W250367413 abstract "AFFIRMA T][VE ACTION IN UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE ADMISSIONS: Cecilia A. Conrad, AssociateProfessorof Economics,Pomona College In July of 1995, the University of California Board of Regents adopted resolution SP-l. SP-l mandated that, effective January 1, 1997, the University of California (UC) shall not use race, religion, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin as a criteria for admission to the Unilersity. With this action, race based affirmative action in UC admissions effectively ended. The Regents' action was later re:inforced when voters adopted a ballot proposition which applied to student admissions as well as other state functions. The history of affirmative action programs and the politics that led to theit demise could occupy several volumes. This paper will focus on a slightly more manageabletopic -the economic ramifications. This paper will examine the economic arguments for and againstthe Board of Regents' decision. It will explore whether race based affIrmative action policies improved or worsened the allocation of educational resources in California. Proponen~;of race-basedaffmnative action believe that it improves the allocation of educational resomcesin three ways. One, it identifies studentswhose marginal benefit of a university education is high, but whose abilities may be underestimatedbecauseof discrimination. Tvro, it improves the education of other students by increasing the diversity of the studentbody. ~[hree,it improves social welfare by reducing group disparities. Not surprisingly, opponents of affIrmative action believe that it worsens the allocation of resources.Critics of the policy argue that, becauseit relies on criteria other than academic credentials, affIrmiltive action diverts resources from the students with the highest potential value added from a univl~rsity education. Critics also warn that the policy will dilute the qUality of education received by all students either Decause admissions standardslead to a watered lax down curriculum or becausethe efficiency gains associatedwith grouping students of similar. abilities together are lost. In addition, critics argue, race-basedaffIrmative action policies worsen racial tensions and reinforce racial stereotypes. This essay will assess empirical evidence on both sides of this question. It proceeds in the three stages.The next two sections outline in greaterdetail the arguments for and against affirmative action in university admissions. Then I describe undergraduateadmissions policies at University of California campusesand the effect of the Board of Regents resolution on the racial composition of entering classes.The remainder of the paper summarizesthe empirical evidence on the consequences the change in policy for individuals, for the educational environment and of for the broader conlInunity ." @default.
