StumbleUponAn addendum. I just saw on the web that minority enrollment is up at Berkeley Law School in a race-blind admissions process. Here's the report: "The number of minorities accepted to the law school at the University of California's flagship campus increased slightly this year, the second without affirmative-action admissions. Boalt Hall School of Law accepted 32 blacks this year. Last year, 15 blacks got in, but none decided to enroll. Figures also rose for Latino students this year, with 60 accepted, 14 more than in 1997."
Could it be that these "victims" you want to rescue are not entirely victims? And these students, of course, unlike their gerrymandered predecessors, will have no cloud hanging over their heads as to whether they deserved to get in.
Roll on, Prop 209!
