Frank Wu, dean of the Law School, is quoted in a UPI wire service story about the latest controversy over affirmative action programs regarding law school admissions. UCLA law professor Richard Sander contends in a study that affirmative action programs are harmful for black law school students. He says the number of black lawyers may decrease because of the attrition rates caused by admitting students who can't do the work. Opponents claim his data is flawed. Wu points out that Sander uses old data from 2001 to support his conclusion that without affirmative action there would only be a 14 percent decline in the number of African-American applicants. More recent data would show a more significant 35-45 percent decline, Wu believes. "What is certain," he says, is if law schools were to adopt Sander's policies there is little doubt that colleges and universities will become segregated."
