I’m a dinosaur I’ll admit it. I went to Michigan State in 1975. Qualifications, GPA and SAT and ACT scores. I think I also had to check off white male in some box. I got an “honorary” scholarship, that is no money, because my dad made too much money, probably around $12k.

No sob story essay, no expression of plans to change the world, just my alleged intelligence measures. My minority friends, same story except most were on scholarship. Michigan at the time had a black population of about 12% and strange enough, that was the percentage of black students enrolled (at least in the freshman class). Just how was MSU able to accomplish this without preferential treatment? BTW Bakke was decided when I was a Junior. As one of my professors predicted, it won’t have much of an effect on us.

Excellent news! Racism has no place in a modern, democratic society. Of course, the usual suspects voted no.
