<p>What makes that clear? I thought the latest figures from California’s own studies of its higher education system show that more Californians of ALL ethnic groups are completing higher education degrees in California state-run universities than ever before, so brain drain doesn’t appear to be the issue. And, as several participants have pointed out, every which ethnic group defined by federal regulations continues to enroll at UCLA (not to mention all the other California state-supported universities). What is going “downward” here?</p>
