This could easily be solved (no pun intended) by enrolling more DEI students.

I think this study reflects decades dumbing down and diversion from core subjects such as Math in PSs more than DEI. Sadly, students who can actually read and do math have become a sort of de facto elite.

As CA colleges and universities go, UCSD is not among the top-ranked, e.g. UCLA or UC Berserkeley, in the UC system. Who here, without using a search engine, knows their mascot? At the same time, UC schools are more demanding and respected than community colleges and many CSUs. IOW, UCSD should be getting academically better students, but those they are getting are deficient academically.

BTW, "Tritons".

How are they passing the SAT test???

This is why Massachusetts insitituted the MCAS requirement for high school graduation during the 1990s - high schools were graduating functional illiterates.

Massachusetts voters recently recinded in the MCAS graduation requirement so the teachers' unions could being to graduate functional illiterates from public schools once again.  Back to the failed 'social promotions' of the 1970s.  But, hey, at least teachers can go back to day drinking at school.
