From the Orange County Register:
A professor who said he suspects UCLA is cheating to illegally admit black students resigned today from its admissions committee, saying the university refused to provide him the data he needs to investigate his suspicions.
Prof. Tim Groseclose’s “Report on Suspected Malfeasance in UCLA Admissions and the Accompanying Cover-Up is available online. Groseclose also attaches letters from three other (nonvoting) committee members, including two student members, that support his view that the university has not been sufficiently willing to allow possibly critical examination of the underlying data.
Naturally, if there’s a formal response to Prof. Groseclose’s allegations, I’d love to link to it, and the Register article notes that “Campus officials deny the accusations and say they’re following the law. Privacy concerns prevented the university from giving Groseclose the data he wanted, officials said.” (Groseclose spends some time in his report arguing that these privacy arguments are not sound.)
Congratulations on the scoop to Marla Jo Fisher at the Register.
