I think affirmative action still has its place in American society. The playing fields are still not level, no matter what anyone tries to say. I believe that the AA being practiced at Mich is a little questionable (20 points for being a minority, and only 1 point for a good essay?), but until excellent education at the public level is available to all students, it is still needed for a lot of people.
I go to a private college, which had a history of integrating (on gender and racial bounds) in the early 19th century. So, my school will probably not change its diversity.
