The University of California is prohibited by law from discriminating by race in admissions, but they've found other ways to increase minority representation that don't violate the law. Perhaps the most significant example is the "Eligibility in the Local Context" program. If a student is in the top 9% of their high school class, their application gets a bump. It doesn't involve race on the face of things, but it has increased minority enrollment in practice.
