I think this article is basically agreeing with my pov, that private institutions are free to have quotas and are the better for it. Isn't this essentially saying that Cal is bound by racial-invisibility laws? Thats a reaction to public knee-jerk sentiment, having nothing to do with what is right or wrong for the students involved. But since Cal is a public institution they have no choice in the matter.

But Noguera believes Harvard has the freedom and the will to improve diversity, unlike Berkeley. The California school is bound by the UC Board of Regents 1995 vote to stop considering race in hiring and admissions and Californians' 1996 endorsement of Proposition 209, which did much the same thing in all branches of public life.
