How California college admissions are changing after the end of affirmative action

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:08 GMT

BY CAROLYN JONES AND MIKHAIL ZINSHTEYN | CalMattersFor students of color, the Supreme Court’s recent ban on affirmative action has left them frustrated but undaunted as they plow through college application season. Some California private colleges, meanwhile, are increasing their outreach efforts to attract more students and send a signal that the end of race-based admissions doesn’t change their belief in the importance of diversity.“I want to go to a college where I feel comfortable and supported and confident. So yes, the ruling has definitely affected what schools I’m looking at,” said Maya Murchison, a senior at Eastlake High School in Chula Vista. “I want to know what colleges are doing to guarantee diversity.”The court’s 6-3 ruling in June prohibits all colleges in the country from using race as a consideration in admissions. California’s public universities have not used affirmative action for almost 30 years, but some of the state’s selective private colleges, and many out-...

San José-reared author Viet Thanh Nguyen honors his late mother’s ‘epic’ life in his new memoir

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:08 GMT

Since winning the Pulitzer Prize in 2016, San Jose-reared novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen has become one of the leading voices of the Vietnamese diaspora in the United States. But he didn’t think his own story — about fleeing Vietnam when he was 4 and growing up in Silicon Valley in the 1980s — was compelling enough when it came time to write his memoir.So the author broadened the focus of “A Man of Two Faces” (Grove Press, 2023) to encompass the “epic” life of his late mother, Linda Kim Nguyen. She was born in a northern Vietnamese village during French colonial rule, came of age amid an escalating war that ravaged her homeland and scrambled to get her young sons onto a boat during the Fall of Saigon in 1975. Her last decades were spent working “relentlessly” long hours in her family’s SàiGòn Mới grocery store in San Jose’s pre-gentrified downtown.Author Viet Thanh Nguyễn and his mother, Linda Kim Nguyen, in Vietnam, before they left in 1975.
