It reviewed the academic years of 2013-14 through 2018-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auditors found that at least 22 applicants were falsely designated as student-athlete recruits “because of donations from or as favors to well-connected families.” These students “had little or no athletic skills,” Howle said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"State Auditor Elaine Howle\"]‘UC Berkeley really had some significant weaknesses in their admissions process.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report did not name students, coaches or specific sports but the investigators looked at a mix of teams at each campus, including soccer, crew, golf, water polo, swimming, track and field, women’s basketball and men’s tennis, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It identified at least 13 applicants improperly admitted as student athletes to UC Berkeley, four each at UCLA and UC Santa Barbara and one at UC San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“UC Berkeley really had some significant weaknesses in their admissions process,” Howle said. The audit found the elite school admitted an additional 42 other applicants based on their connections to donors and staff while denying admission to others who were more qualified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This brings the total number of improperly admitted UC Berkeley students to 55, according to the audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one case, the child of a major donor applied to UC Berkeley and received the lowest possible score on their application, which was marked, “Do Not Recommend,” the report said. But the application was revived by an associate director of the donor relations department who contacted a coach to say the family had “a huge capacity and is already a big supporter of Cal.” The coach backed up the applicant as a prospective student athlete, “even though the applicant had played only a single year of the sport in high school and at a low level of competition.” After admission, the applicant’s family donated several thousand dollars to the team, the report said. “The applicant never competed with the team, and the coaches removed the applicant from the team after the season ended.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A UCLA coach admitted a student as an athlete, as a favor to a donor — even after the student’s application had been marked, “Denied,” the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howle said she believes the findings have barely scratched the surface of problems in the UC admissions process. The majority of the 64 applicants were white and at least half had annual family incomes of $150,000 or more, the audit said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 64 students identified as being improperly admitted were based on “definitive evidence,” such as emailed communications showing a student was denied admission but then reconsidered and accepted after an athletic coach or the development office got involved to suggest the student’s entry could lead to donations, Howle said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s at least another 400 or so students … that were really questionable,” Howle said, including some student athletes who didn’t appear to have any athletic ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Imai, a UC Berkeley student and the vice president of external affairs for the student association \u003ca href=\"https://asuc.org\">ASUC,\u003c/a> said his university should be held accountable, and the admissions process needs to be reevaluated across all UC campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our universities must continue to just acknowledge the experiences that low income students may face, and the lack of resources that may come about, being a low income student in comparison to being a rich, wealthy student, that may have a lot of resources,” Imai told KQED. “I think that these experiences truly disproportionately affect students of color, specifically that have been applying to UC systems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Michael V. Drake, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827813/uc-names-michael-drake-as-first-black-president\">who took over the job in July\u003c/a>, said in a statement that he took the findings and recommendations “very seriously and will do all I can to prevent inappropriate admissions” in the 285,000-student system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The University will swiftly address the concerns the State Auditor raised. Furthermore, individuals involved in improper activities will be disciplined appropriately,” Drake said. “Unethical means to gain admission, as rare as they may be, run contrary to our longstanding values of equity and fairness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audit recommends the president’s office take a robust role in auditing admissions at the nine campuses, closely examining “admissions by exception,” that are granted for student athletes, artists, or those who have other specific talents that are attractive to a campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audit was requested last year by state Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner Horvath in response to the national college admissions scandal, which embroiled prestigious universities nationwide, athletic coaches and dozens of wealthy parents. The scandal shed light on the murky world of U.S. college admissions and how the rich and famous exploit it to buy their children’s way into top schools with rigged test scores or fake athletic credentials. At the center of the scheme was Newport Beach-based college admissions consultant, William “Rick” Singer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audit’s findings go beyond those investigations, known as Operation Varsity Blues, which had previously identified at least three students at UCLA and UC Berkeley who were improperly admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA men’s soccer coach Jorge Salcedo was indicted on charges of racketeering conspiracy for allegedly accepting $200,000 in bribes from the scheme’s mastermind, Rick Singer, in exchange for helping two students gain admission to the school as soccer players, though they didn’t play the sport competitively. Salcedo pleaded guilty to one count and is expected to be sentenced next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"university-of-california\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003cbr>\nAt UC Berkeley, at least one student was known to have been admitted with fraudulent test scores, prosecutors allege. David Sidoo, a Canadian businessman and former professional football player, pleaded guilty to one charge of mail fraud conspiracy for paying Singer to fix entrance exams for his two sons and was sentenced to three months in prison. The younger song, Jordan Sidoo, attended UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then-UC President Janet Napolitano ordered an internal investigation of all UC campuses that resulted in a sweeping list of recommendations aimed at better policing of fraud and conflicts of interest in student admissions. It called for stronger verification of claims on students’ applications, reviewing potential links between donors and applicants and stricter scrutiny of students admitted for special talents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Howle found that staff were insufficiently trained and supervised in reviewing applications, “which led to inconsistent reviews, and affected applicants’ chances of admission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Office of the President has allowed weaknesses to persist for years and has not ensured the admissions policies and processes have been consistently and fairly applied from campus to campus,” the audit said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also recommended that the president require campuses to verify athletic talent and review donation records before admitting prospective student athletes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca id=\"clarification\">\u003c/a>Clarification, Sep. 23: A previous version of this story stated UC Berkeley wrongly admitted 42 students. The story has been updated to reflect an additional 13 student athletes who were also improperly admitted.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Chloe Veltman contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The audit found the elite school admitted an additional 42 other applicants based on their connections to donors and staff while denying admission to others who were more qualified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This brings the total number of improperly admitted UC Berkeley students to 55, according to the audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one case, the child of a major donor applied to UC Berkeley and received the lowest possible score on their application, which was marked, “Do Not Recommend,” the report said. But the application was revived by an associate director of the donor relations department who contacted a coach to say the family had “a huge capacity and is already a big supporter of Cal.” The coach backed up the applicant as a prospective student athlete, “even though the applicant had played only a single year of the sport in high school and at a low level of competition.” After admission, the applicant’s family donated several thousand dollars to the team, the report said. “The applicant never competed with the team, and the coaches removed the applicant from the team after the season ended.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A UCLA coach admitted a student as an athlete, as a favor to a donor — even after the student’s application had been marked, “Denied,” the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howle said she believes the findings have barely scratched the surface of problems in the UC admissions process. The majority of the 64 applicants were white and at least half had annual family incomes of $150,000 or more, the audit said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 64 students identified as being improperly admitted were based on “definitive evidence,” such as emailed communications showing a student was denied admission but then reconsidered and accepted after an athletic coach or the development office got involved to suggest the student’s entry could lead to donations, Howle said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s at least another 400 or so students … that were really questionable,” Howle said, including some student athletes who didn’t appear to have any athletic ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Imai, a UC Berkeley student and the vice president of external affairs for the student association \u003ca href=\"https://asuc.org\">ASUC,\u003c/a> said his university should be held accountable, and the admissions process needs to be reevaluated across all UC campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our universities must continue to just acknowledge the experiences that low income students may face, and the lack of resources that may come about, being a low income student in comparison to being a rich, wealthy student, that may have a lot of resources,” Imai told KQED. “I think that these experiences truly disproportionately affect students of color, specifically that have been applying to UC systems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Michael V. Drake, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827813/uc-names-michael-drake-as-first-black-president\">who took over the job in July\u003c/a>, said in a statement that he took the findings and recommendations “very seriously and will do all I can to prevent inappropriate admissions” in the 285,000-student system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The University will swiftly address the concerns the State Auditor raised. Furthermore, individuals involved in improper activities will be disciplined appropriately,” Drake said. “Unethical means to gain admission, as rare as they may be, run contrary to our longstanding values of equity and fairness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audit recommends the president’s office take a robust role in auditing admissions at the nine campuses, closely examining “admissions by exception,” that are granted for student athletes, artists, or those who have other specific talents that are attractive to a campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audit was requested last year by state Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner Horvath in response to the national college admissions scandal, which embroiled prestigious universities nationwide, athletic coaches and dozens of wealthy parents. The scandal shed light on the murky world of U.S. college admissions and how the rich and famous exploit it to buy their children’s way into top schools with rigged test scores or fake athletic credentials. At the center of the scheme was Newport Beach-based college admissions consultant, William “Rick” Singer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audit’s findings go beyond those investigations, known as Operation Varsity Blues, which had previously identified at least three students at UCLA and UC Berkeley who were improperly admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Work crews took down the iron \"Boalt Hall\" sign on the facade of the UC Berkeley Law campus Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's all part of the process of separating the controversial legacy of John Boalt, a 19th-century Oakland lawyer, from the law school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move has been over two years in the making and will come as no surprise to many in the campus community. In 2018, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky recommended that Boalt’s name be untangled from the campus, due to his newly unearthed anti-Chinese writings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order for the name to be removed, similar recommendations needed to be made by a campus committee, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ and UC President Janet Napolitano. That process was finished last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to UC, Boalt’s name was attached to the building after his widow put property in San Francisco into a $100,000 trust for the university to construct a hall in his honor. That property was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the university still named their newly erected hall \"Boalt\" in recognition of Elizabeth Boalt’s intentions. John Boalt himself never attended or taught at the university. When the law school moved from that building, now Durant Hall, to the new building in the southeast corner of campus, the name carried over, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the first building on the UC Berkeley campus to be renamed and the second instance in the 10-campus UC system. The first was at UC Irvine, when sexual assault allegations against geneticist Francisco J. Ayala were verified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chemerinsky said removing the name shows a united front.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To me that's very powerful. And my hope is that those who have concerns about this will go back and read the reports and look at the facts. I think many who do will come to the same conclusions,” Chemerinsky said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Charles Reichmann, UC Berkeley Law\"]'It was a speech that was filled with very crude racial stereotyping and things that would certainly to modern ears be highly offensive.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those reports were first put together in 2017 by Charles Reichmann, a UC Berkeley Law lecturer. Reichmann was researching Chinese immigration in the university’s Bancroft Library when he uncovered a speech filled with racial epithets by Boalt that advocated for “an immediate end to all immigration from China.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a speech that was filled with very crude racial stereotyping and things that would certainly, to modern ears, be highly offensive,” Reichmann said. He later publicized his findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, UC Berkeley’s law school will be called just that — Berkeley Law. According to Chemerinsky, the school has always been called Berkeley Law — Boalt was a colloquial term. However, the moniker has been pervasive. It’s plastered on signs throughout the building, serves as the title to alumni clubs and student organizations and exists on letterheads and business cards. The dean's table still has dark blue marbled coasters that say 'Boalt Hall.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11798966\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1290px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11798966\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1290\" height=\"968\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920.jpg 1290w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley junior Victoria Vera was part of a 13-member committee that made the decision to remove the name Boalt. \u003ccite>(Gretchen Krell/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The name change is part of a larger movement.

In 2018, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky recommended that Boalt’s name be untangled from the campus, due to his newly unearthed anti-Chinese writings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order for the name to be removed, similar recommendations needed to be made by a campus committee, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ and UC President Janet Napolitano. That process was finished last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to UC, Boalt’s name was attached to the building after his widow put property in San Francisco into a $100,000 trust for the university to construct a hall in his honor. That property was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the university still named their newly erected hall \"Boalt\" in recognition of Elizabeth Boalt’s intentions. John Boalt himself never attended or taught at the university. When the law school moved from that building, now Durant Hall, to the new building in the southeast corner of campus, the name carried over, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At an event in November, Carol Christ, the chancellor of UC Berkeley, said, \"I'm very much in favor of doing away with the SAT or ACT as a requirement for application to the University of California.\" UC Berkeley was quick to clarify that comment didn't signal a policy change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokeswoman Claire Doan couldn't comment on the lawsuit because it hadn't been filed yet. She says a special faculty task force is currently investigating the use of standardized testing in admissions, and the university system is \"waiting for the assessment and recommendations from the ... Task Force before determining whether any steps should be taken on this important issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has been evaluating the requirement through a policy lens, but the lawsuit argues it's a legal issue: \"This policy illegally discriminates against applicants on the basis of race and wealth, and thereby denies them equal protection under the California Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California serves more than 250,000 students and is one of the largest school systems in the country. About 50 years ago, the system adopted the SAT as a way to weed out applicants — a decision that helped elevate the test to a national standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But research has since shown that SAT scores are \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/03/05/these-four-charts-show-how-the-sat-favors-the-rich-educated-families/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strongly linked to family income\u003c/a>, and a student's high school academic record, regardless of what school they attended, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/02/18/277059528/college-applicants-sweat-the-sats-perhaps-they-shouldn-t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">does a far better job of predicting college success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HUaI2ofyo8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board, the organization behind the SAT, says grades and test scores function together, providing \"more insight into a student's potential to succeed than either measure alone.\" Research conducted by the College Board \u003ca href=\"https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/national-sat-validity-study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">maintains \u003c/a>that SAT scores are predictive of success in college. The ACT says its test is not biased. In a statement, it tells NPR, \"Blaming standardized tests for differences in educational quality and opportunities that exist will not improve educational outcomes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11788327,mindshift_54054,mindshift_51137\" label=\"Standardized Testing\"]Nonetheless, more and more schools are turning to test-optional admissions policies. In 2019, nearly 50 schools \u003ca href=\"https://www.fairtest.org/2019-best-year-ever-testoptional-higher-ed-admissi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dropped \u003c/a>the standardized tests from admissions requirements, according to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, an advocacy group that has long been critical of standardized testing. Those schools joined a pool of about 1,000 colleges across the country. One of those colleges, the University of Chicago, \u003ca href=\"https://news.uchicago.edu/story/uchicago-empower-meeting-goal-removing-barriers-college-access\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">claims \u003c/a>the decision to go test-optional — along with increased financial aid — has led to an increase of first-generation and low-income students on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the University of California were to go ahead and drop the testing requirements, it would have profound and widespread effects in the college admissions arena,\" says Bob Schaeffer, director of the National Center for Fair and Open Testing. \"If University of California can go test-optional, pretty much any school could.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, attorney Mark Rosenbaum acknowledges that optional testing won't completely solve the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There probably is no playing field less level than the journey to go to college and higher education — and the SATs are a part of that,\" Rosenbaum says. \"But they're not the whole story.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes the lawsuit will fuel a larger conversation around college admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Police also plan to set up barricades outside the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe these policies will help the event go smoother than some others in the past,” Reddy added, noting that his group has already received some threats. \"A disruption would be very unfavorable to our interests.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of leftist groups, comprised of both students and off-campus activists, remain hell-bent on shutting the event down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're calling on people from all around the Bay Area to come to Berkeley tomorrow to shut down Ann Coulter and the College Republicans speaking event,\" said Hoku Jeffrey, an organizer for the group By Any Means Necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Coulter event is simply an invitation for white supremacist violence to happen on the Berkeley campus and in the surrounding community, and we don't we don't accept that at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/berkeleycrs/status/1195147703094665216?s=21\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school is much better prepared to accommodate controversial events like this than it used to be, said UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof, noting that more than 15 high-profile conservative speakers have come to campus over the last two years, without major disruption or incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's largely because student organizations are now following to the letter and the spirit of the campus event policy,\" including extensive security assessments before each event, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have two priorities, two commitments, and we have an unwavering commitment to both,\" he added. “One is to support the First Amendment rights of our students regardless of their perspectives. And two is to provide for the safety and security of the members of the campus community, our guests and the public at large.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the administration is not taking anything for granted, Mogulof added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not complacent.
