To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
I request the total number of UC applications received by ethnicity for each year beginning with 2013-14 up to the most recent year. This should using the “Southwest Asian/North African" category added to the ethnicity portion in 2013-14, as documented in the following article. http://www.dailycal.org/2013/05/27/uc-to-introduce-new-category-for-southwest-asian-and-north-african-students-in-2013-2014-undergraduate-application/
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Ben Welsh
From: University of California

This office will provide you with a status update after the requested records have been thoroughly reviewed.
For your information, the California Public Records Act allows agencies to make records available “upon payment of fees covering direct costs of duplication.” (Government Code Section 6253(b)).
