The University of California system was sued on Monday by a student group for alleged racial discrimination in admissions by favoring Black and Hispanic applicants over Asian-American and white applicants.

The state’s elite campuses, prohibited from using race-based admissions for decades, are now admitting more Black and Hispanic students. A new group is suing, arguing the university system is cheating.

A lawsuit filed Monday against the University of California campus system accused the schools of illegally discriminating against white and Asian applicants. The complaint brought by Students Against Racial Discrimination said the UC system broke civil rights laws by giving an advantage to black and Hispanic applicants on the basis of their race.
