well we will see soon enough what he will do.
Editorial: Bush and Bakke / Is the administration pro-affirmative action
President Bush apparently finds that prospect troubling. As governor of Texas, he responded to a court decision against a University of Texas affirmative action program by endorsing an "affirmative access" alternative under which the top 10 percent of students in every high school are guaranteed admission. Because many Texas schools have a majority of minority students, the effect was to promote racial diversity through a change in admission requirements -- which is also what "affirmative action" does.

Close, but no cigar..
Regardless of the racial makeup of the school in question, the net effect is to put the emphasis back on academics as opposed to skin color.
Thus, it's not "affirmative action" as we know it today.
