Preferences are constitutional. Quotas are not. The undergrad policy was not a "quota". It was simply the awarding of 20 extra points on a 150 pt. scale. It really is the difference between objective and subjective preferences. That's the effect, anyway. So the trick will be for universities to abandon formal quota systems, and just consider racial preferences on an ad hoc basis. The result might be equally or even more "preferential", but much more difficult to track.

Preferences are constitutional. Quotas are not. In other words, to have what in effect are quotas, colleges and other institutions have to practice doubletalk. So we get not only racial discrimination, but dishonest institutions to boot.

But the only way to know if "preferences" are working is with hard numbers, my friend: Quotas.
