Michigan race admissions case heads to Supreme Court review
A Michigan appeal led by Attorney General Bill Schuette asks the Supreme Court to revisit the 2006 voter ban on race based preferences in college admissions and public contracting. Erwin Chemerin sky of UC Irvine represents affected students and faculty in the challenge. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in an 8 7 ruling, said the amendment violates equal protection by burdening opponents of affirmative action. The court noted alumni children may lobby for policies. Schuette counters that merit based entry is essential and equal. The ACLU criticizes the ban as discriminating against students of color while allowing other factors.
