That the people of Michigan are saying ‘we think that racism is wrong, that you should be judged by your achievements rather than the color of your skin.’

The University of Michigan is saying ‘we think that the only thing that matters is how many in a certain skin color group graduate each year.’

White students beware; if the University can’t figure out a way to control the front door, they’ll just have to start working on the other side. Is there a ban on affirmative action in grading in the state?

Actually, they don't give a rat's patooty about how many graduate, only about how many are admitted.

One of the worst effects of "affirmative action" is that those admitted lack the academic wherewithal to succeed, and often drop out from a top-tier school when they would have finished if they had gone elsewhere.

But the mainly white administrators don't care about that or about how many deserving whites or Asians were denied admission so they could trumpet their leftist bona fides.

Careful. They’re not talking about graduating. AA black admittees drop out at far higher rates. They hide the graduation stats, and focus on percentage of the entering class.

It is actually worse than that. The University thinks that the only thing that matters is diversity within admissions. They actually create an entire subset of people that WILL fail, drop out and then never go to another college! They are creating an entire group of poeple that will never escape poverty.

Instead, if it were merit based, then the sub par students (majority and minority) might actually pick a school that can better meet their needs which would result in actually achieving the goal of receiving a degree. That would be truly life changing for the minority individuals.

But hey, once again the Demonrat party proves that their policy is not interested in helping the individuals that they pretend to care about. Instead, it is rhetoric over substance!

And the sheep will bleat their approval.
