Incapable of conceiving of any reason besides affirmative action for the recently increased body of admitted black students at UCLA, political science professor Tim Groseclose has resigned from the school’s admissions committee. This year the school admitted 230 black students, up from 103 in 2006, and Groseclose caught a whiff of some nefarious black people scheming. According to his 89-page masturbatory resignation, “A growing body of evidence strongly suggests that UCLA is cheating on admissions… It is obvious that the admissions staff was under intense pressure to admit more African Americans.”

The LA Times reports:

Political science professor Tim Groseclose resigned Thursday from the Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools, saying high-ranking university administrators and fellow committee members are engaged in a "coverup" to block illegal activity from being discovered…

Proposition 209, a 1996 voter initiative, bars California's public universities from considering race and other factors such as religion in the admissions process. In ensuing years, the number of black students at UCLA and many other UC campuses dwindled. By 2006, only 103 entering freshmen and 108 transfer students at UCLA were black, the lowest level in more than three decades.

 

Prompted by campus and community concerns about the lack of student diversity, UCLA decided in 2006 to move to a "holistic" application process, in which applicants' grades, test scores, extracurricular activities and other factors were no longer reviewed separately. Rather, achievements could be considered in the context of their personal experiences, Lifka said.

 

UCLA officials have said the new process is fairer to all applicants, and they have emphasized that admissions officials continue to abide by the restrictions imposed by Proposition 209.

In a martyr-like maneuver, Groseclose announced his resignation by writing, "Because I cannot properly conduct the duties with which I am charged as a member of CUARS, I am therefore resigning, in protest, from the committee. To do otherwise would condone and make me complicit in what appears to be illegal activity." Instead, Groseclose can continue being complicit in what appears to be an ideology which correlates an increased black student body with a devious admissions process and remains skeptical of black achievement.
