According to <a href=“http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/3-23-1999.html[/url]”>http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/3-23-1999.html</a> ~

BERKELEY–The University of California, Berkeley, has launched its most comprehensive - and personalized - effort to broaden the number of underrepresented minority students who will attend the campus this fall.

The effort began early this month with groups of students and staff phoning applicants to encourage them to choose UC Berkeley. The campus also plans to both phone and make face-to-face contact with every African American, Latino, Filipino and American Indian student offered admission.

Are Filipino’s considered URM’s at UC Berkeley? I find that hard to believe…?
