Agreed.
I'm not sure if this is correct from the article that Kimmie posted, but it seems that they are saying that Michigan's point system was flawed and placed too much weight on race. Did they say what an appropriate weight would be? How does that transend to other admissions requirements?
I expect to see many other similar lawsuits after this and if GW has his way, the court will become more conservative and AA will be a thing of the past. It will be interesting to see if this albe begins to affect things like minority set asides and AA goals in hiring.
