Wondering what went wrong there ...
- rahimnathwani 2y agoThey don't have a smoking gun, and might not find one. At least person at UC with responsibility for (non-undergrad) admissions explained (on video) how they discriminate without leaving a paper trail. UC administrators get to use taxpayers' own money to defend themselves from taxpayer lawsuits. They are well-resourced. AIUI lawyers working on contingency get paid a cut of the damages. If that's correct, it might be hard. If someone didn't get into UC and proves it was due to illegal discrimination, how can they prove they suffered at least $ of damages? If they were to say 'well I had to pay out of state tuition at XYZ', UC could just say "well you were offered a place at UC Merced why didn't you just go there?".
