As a graduate of UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara (and staff of UCSD and UCSC) and a current UCSC dad - this not only looks bad, it is bad because there is public documentation lacking/or "smokescreen". In the past - exception admissions were allowed for individual UC Trustees. Conley - a rabid opponent of diversity admissions, of course got his own (rich) friend's kids in [I think that was the scandal].
The California Public Records Act is a "mandate". The requirement is 10 days, for a reply and materials - OR a clear 'technical reason' and 14 more days to produce (with a mandated date). Take the buggers to court! It is a Writ of Mandate, and the UC campuses who don't bother replying, get to pay legal costs of CALmatters. (when UC loses to a judge's reading of the clear language of the Gov Code for the PRA)
