{"product_id":"2940149528028","title":"Cheating: An Insiders Report on the Use of Race in Admissions at UCLA","description":"Because of California’s Proposition 209, public universities such as UCLA cannot use race as a factor in admissions.  However, as this book shows, UCLA gives significant preferences to African Americans, while it discriminates against Asians.  The author, a professor of political science and economics at UCLA, documents what he witnessed as a member of UCLA’s faculty oversight committee for admissions.  He also describes findings from a UCLA internal report as well as statistics from a large data set that he has posted online.  All show that UCLA is breaking the law.  The discrimination is not simply a byproduct of class-based preferences.  For instance, for one aspect of the admissions process, a rich African American’s chance of admission is almost double that of a poor Asian, even when the two applicants have identical grades, SAT scores, and other factors.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dog Ear Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100998648048,"sku":"2940149528028","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149528028_p0.jpg?v=1763718598","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149528028","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
