UC admits largest, most diverse class ever, but it was harder to get accepted

Among California applicants, Latinos were the largest group admitted for the second year in a row, making up 37% of the 84,223 students offered freshman seats. Asian Americans made up 34%, white students 20% and Black students 5%.

UC Irvine made the largest year-to-year gains in diversity...
the share of Black students doubled and American Indian students tripled. Admission offers to Latino students increased by 30% while those to Asian Americans fell by 25% and to whites by 9.4%.

UC eliminated the use of SAT and ACT test scores in admissions decisions and made other changes, such as suspending the letter-grade requirements for most of the last two academic years.

Is this a good thing?

Wasn't this done in response to Covid? I recall some high schools foregoing letter grades for classes but I may be remember this wrong.
