CSU went about lowering/easing admission standards/requirements for those they claimed needed it back under President Yates: "The University does not set quotas for members of particular groupings or for people possessing particular  haracteristics. However, to assure and increase the diversity of the students admitted, the University establishes and seeks to implement recruitment goals that provide guidelines for affirmative action to locate and identify a pool of qualified applicants." 

This was just before I started ripping up the Alumni Association letters asking for donations to the University.
