The University of California at Los Angeles has offered admission for the fall to 392 African American students, up from the 249 who were offered a place in the current freshman class. The news was greeted with satisfaction and a measure of relief by UCLA administrators and others who had expressed concern about declining numbers of black students on the Westwood campus. The number reached a crisis last fall, when only about 100 black freshmen enrolled—or about 2% of a class of more than 4,800. Overall, 11,837 students were accepted to UCLA.
