In 2006 the people of Michigan voted with Proposal 2 to ban the use of affirmative action in university admissions. The people clearly wanted an end to unfair preferences based on race and gender. The people wanted reverse discrimination to come to an end.

Unfortunately, the regents at U of M are still manipulating the admission process. U of M now sends out recruiters to the big cities to find qualified colored students. It rounds them up, signs them up, pays their way, and then claims no preferences have been given.

But the regents don't want too many charity cases running around the campus. So they have held the number of coloreds down to less than 10% of total enrollment. After all, the university needs a majority of white students to pay the steep tuition. Somebody has to pay the bills.  Of course, the university administrators all deny the existence of this fixed quota system.  Nobody wants to be taken back into court or face another write-in campaign!

Affirmative action is still alive and well at U of M. It has just gone "underground" where it is not so easy to see, not so easy to regulate, and not so easy to ban.   It is clear that the regents out there are going to continue to do whatever they want to do and completely disregard the voters and taxpayers.
