逆轉！UCI校長出面致歉，290位新生重新被錄取！

新聞 08-07

前幾天UCI史無前例地取消500多位新生錄取結果的事情想必大家都很關注，不僅是UCI的新生，連我們圍觀群眾都覺得這事兒很詭異很過分。網路上有不少人推測，學校撤回錄取結果就是因為錄取的學生數量比預期的超標了。儘管學校副校長公開發信表示學校的做法沒有問題，也對撤回錄取結果的原因做出了解釋，但是關於這件事的風波仍然沒有停息。

上周三，事情終於出現的轉機。UCI的正校長Howard Gillman在官網發佈道歉聲明，並宣布：所有因成績單出問題被取消資格的290人將全部恢復資格。

Howard Gillman的致歉信正文如下：

To the Anteater community:

The stories of our students whose college dreams were crushed by our decision to withdraw admissions to hundreds of students are heartbreaking. And unacceptable.

This process is not working. We are a university recognized for advancing the American Dream, not impeding it. This situation is rocking us to our core because it is fundamentally misaligned with our values.

I must step in and change our direction. Effective immediately, all students who received provisional acceptances into UCI will be fully admitted, except those whose transcripts clearly indicate that they did not meet our academic standards. Those standards are: No Ds or Fs their senior year; a senior-year grade point average of at least 3.0; completion of all A-G requirements outlined by the University of California; and required test scores as indicated on the students』 admission portals.

Even for students whose transcripts show that these requirements were not met, we will establish an expedited process to allow students to make the case for extenuating circumstances, and otherwise will work with students to identify other possible pathways into the university.

We』re trying to understand how we under-estimated the number of students who planned to enroll this fall. We』re also trying to understand why we chose to notify students in an insensitive way or couldn』t answer their telephone calls adequately. I intend to find out so this will never happen again. I directed our internal auditor to review the admissions process and suggest areas for improvement. I plan to have a preliminary report within 60 days.

In closing, the students and their families have my personal, sincerest apology. We should not have treated you this way over a missed deadline.

We will welcome all of our wonderful students who worked so hard to satisfy the requirements for UCI admission, and as we move forward we will do everything we can to earn the trust and loyalty of our community.

Chancellor Howard Gillman

根據Howard Gillman的解釋，所有因成績單問題被取消錄取的學生將全部被重新錄取，但是因為成績問題而被取消的學生則要滿足一定標準才能申請重新錄取，具體標準為：高中最後一年成績不低於3.0；課程成績不能有D或F；完成加州大學要求的所有必修課程；標化考試成績滿足申請標準。

並且，校長還表示，即使有些人未達學業標準，UCI也會儘快審查申請人提出的「情有可原情況」申訴。如果沒有情有可原情況，仍會盡量找到變通辦法讓他們入學。

截止到上周二，因成績單未及時寄達被取消資格的290人，214人申訴，112人恢復資格。因12年級成績太差被取消資格的209人，132人申訴，只有8人恢復資格。

所以說啊，還是要提醒大家，即便收到錄取通知書了也不是完全高枕無憂的，學校要求的補充資料一頂要看清楚截止日期，按時提交，更重要的是是，千萬不要因此而放鬆自己，最後一年的成績學校同樣非常重視。
