Good for President Bush! Now, whether or not this will come to pass, is another story.

My daughter graduated from the UofM Dearborn campus with a GPA of 3.8. She applied to UofM Ann Arbor law school and was sent a letter: "SORRY, we have to meet our quota; please try again next year!" Upon researching, you only need a GPA of 3.5 to get into the law school, but if you are a minority, (sorry) you only need a GPA of 2.5!

(She has since graduated from 'someplace else' and passed the bar last spring.) :)

You know, that was my Pollyanna husband's answer when I told him that Bush may not fight this....I said I don't think it's fair for our girls to lose out to someone just because they are white.
He said, "So what, we'll send them to a better school. I thought you wanted them to go to Hillsdale anyway."!!
I am so glad our Prez made the right decision.

Well, if you're a white man and you contact a Stat University of NY campus you might be nonplussed to receive a form on which you can apply for preference based on the fact that you are

Female
Black
Native American
etc.

They could save a lot of paper and ink by just saying, "20 demerits if you're a white guy." That wouldn't be politically correct, but it would be truthful.

Congratulations to your daughter! I find the whole deal of quotas disgusting.

Congrats to your daughter for having the courage to go forward and fight for a place in law school, in spite of the discrimination she experienced from NOT being a minority.
