Re “UC Ends Affirmative Action Ban,”’ May 17: The UC regents’ cowardly decision to appease minority activists with a symbolic repeal of the affirmative action ban demonstrates their true contempt for minority students who, when admitted with lower qualifications than their fellow students, unsurprisingly fare less well.
