    They (or enough of them) believe it’s the right moral thing to do and representational racial class composition is in vogue with many of their customers.

    Nobody expects the racial admission numbers to change in favor of whites or asians because of this. What will change, is the quality of black and latino admits. I suspect that's what the universities understand, and are afraid of.

    Education is extremely important.

          It looks there are many comments (not necessarily on this board) suggesting that the colleges/universities want to continue to practice race-based affirmative actions, to somehow give certain racial minorities preferential treatment when it comes to admission.

          Why is that? Why would colleges/universities be motivated to do so now that there is no legal justification for it?

          Being exposed to different people, different cultures, different backgrounds, different experiences, different ideas is a good thing.

          As I say previously, the idea of having diversity in colleges is good, but just admitting people into the school is not the right way of doing it. Does not solve the root problem.

            What are you referring to specifically? I'm looking for it (as well as the Roberts v Sotomayor debate).
