"I believe that while race-neutral means are preferable, it is appropriate to use race as one factor among others in achieving a diverse student body," Rice said.

Think about what she's saying there. Race neutral means are preferable... It means something. I wouldn't try to put her in one box if I were you based on something that has many different variables.

You have to provide her explanation of her words as well. I read them to say that race-neutral is preferable. She is quoted as saying exactly that. She is also quoted as saying she supports the President's policies. Where's the problem? One factor among many. If you have issue with that statement- ask her what it means.

"National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice -- one of the highest-ranking members of the Bush administration -- said Friday she believes race can sometimes be considered as "one factor among others" to achieve diversity within a school or university."

She also says that she believes race can sometimes be considered as a factor which is contradicting. Race should never be considered a factor, qualifications should.
