It’s official: the University of California is set to enroll its most diverse class ever, with nearly 8,000 more Californians committing to one of the system’s nine undergraduate campuses. The surge in California freshman and transfer students who signed an intent to register amounted to a 16% increase over last year, according to data posted Tuesday. About 38% were underrepresented minorities — Latinos, African Americans, Pacific Islanders and American Indians — representing a 24.3% increase over last year.
