ABSTRACT: Data are presented concerning the enrollments of
Black and Chicano graduate and undergraduate students at
the University of California at Berkeley. Some problems,
particularly those stemming from academic decision-making
at the undergraduate level, are noted. A number of
problematic academic decisions that are (were) likely to
affect negatively the recruitment and retention of Black
and Chicano students are covered. Data are presented on the
enrollments for these two groups by department and level
for 1974 and 1978. Data on Black and Hispanic enrollments
for the Berkeley campus are contrasted with those
systemwide, and other related information are also
presented. It is concluded that the decline in Black
undergraduate enrollments at the Berkeley campus and the
low level of enrollment of Hispanic graduate and
undergraduate students have impaired progress across the
University of California system as a whole. (SW)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of

number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
