The U.S. Supreme Court backed the University of Michigan law school’s affirmative action policies in a landmark 2003 case.

Left unsaid there is that on the same day the SCOTUS ruled that the U of M's undergraduate Affirmative Action admissions policy is unconstitutional.

Yet Mary Sue Coleman and crew, to the best of our knowledge, have never tweaked the undergraduate admissions policy to bring it into conformity with the SCOTUS ruling. Nor has she complied with the state law approved in a referendum in 2006 banning race preferences in state government.

Mary Sue should have been charged with contempt of court several years ago for failing to comply with the SCOTUS ruling. Good riddance to her on her upcoming retirement. (Don't think her successor will be much better, but you never know.)

BTW, it's hardly surprising that the Black Student Union would present their demands in the aftermath of a Harry Belafonte speech on campus. Belafonte is a Communist and has been for decades.

Nor has she complied with the state law approved in a referendum in 2006 banning race preferences in state government.

The sad thing is that we're now awaiting a supreme court ruling on that law due to a bizarre court of appeals ruling that the ban was unfair to those who can't afford to keep fighting.

US Court Strikes Down Michigan Affirmative Action Ban

The court says the ban puts an extraordinary burden on those who have to mount a long expensive campaign if they want to protect it.

The US Supreme court heard the case back in August or September and we still haven't heard anything from them.

Good riddance to her on her upcoming retirement.

Thanks. The day I hear that "All applicants are treated equally 'regardless of race' will be a day I can and will celebrate, I've had to deal with affirmative action hires, and that is one of the worst, dumbest, crappiest, despicable, character killing, policies ever.

The bad thing is that it takes a mountain of paperwork to let a lazy worker go, after they finish the probationary period. I had a white worker who worked his butt off, but got caught hot for marijuana on a drug test. He was gone after the boss heard about it.

Had one Hispanic worker who got caught using the interned to surf porn sites, buy stuff for his wife (all after hours) and I got blamed for not securing the network access.

If that same guy had used his user name and password from home with his computer, he could have done the same thing. I am so glad I am now retired.
