Because there seems to be some impediment between academic excellence and accomplishment in the workforce. I realize this is a large issue beyond the quota situation. If you ask most people of any race attending Berkeley's engineering school I suspect they will say they are seeking to become successful entrepreneurs, thats really what the engineering schools are training people for these days (the top ones anyway). And yet, the top admissions to the schools (and probably the top graduates as well) are underperforming as entrepreneurs, it is the middle students that are excelling there and almost every race is doing better than the asians. Its a huge imbalance - why? Here's an interesting question... Jerry Yang went to Stanford which has quotas. He then co-founded yahoo. I wonder, if he had gone to Berkeley with all asians if he would have had the same level of success?
