From what I understand, the important part was getting the undergrad preferences tossed. I mean 20 points for skin color/race and only 12 for a pefect SAT score. This was discriminating.

Burden of proof is on the accusers. In the case of the undergrad students, they had that proof. The law school complainants, IMHO, didn't really have that much proof.

Not only that, you got 1 point for an essay (raised to 3 after 1999). When I applied to U-M (long before the current policy), they tried to make it sound as if the essay was the most part of the application and I put a lot of time into it (yes, I did get in).

The talking heads are saying that it appears they have ruled against quotas. We shall see.

Is it me, or did SCOTUS just basically tell a STATE UNIVERSITY that the Federal government had no business meddling in their decision on who they will assist in enrolling, or how they reach that decision, as long as there is not an unconstitutional advantage given to minorities via the point system?
