California School Boards Association (CSBA) of all places shared the story regarding CFER’s recent victory in prompting the removal of a race-based scholarship at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The message was sent to all school board members in California. I hope that announcing the case to the large community of school board trustees serves as a wakeup call to all of them to strictly observe the law and safeguard equal protection.

We took the University of California Board of Regents, University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Black Alumni Scholarship Fund to court in July to challenge a race-based scholarship named “Black Academic Excellence Initiative (BAEI).” On October 15, CFER v. UCSD was successfully concluded with the permanent elimination of BAEI.

On October 13th, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed AB 7 (college admissions preferences for descendants of slavery), AB 57 (affordable housing for descendants of slaves), AB 62 (racially motivated eminent domain), AB 742 (licensing board application preferences for descendants of slaves). Along with ACA 7, which was stopped in the state legislature, we have managed to defeat five of eight reparations-themed bills introduced in this legislative session.
