[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the part we all ignore is that there are MANY qualified students for all of these institutions. So it's basically a lottery among the best. Institutions don't have a vested interest in their population being 100% of any race if done on stats alone (which again, for MIT, might be #1 has 1600 and 4.0 and #4000 also has 1599 and 4.0). [/quote]

The question before the court is whether it's legal to take race into account as you're suggesting. There's no doubt the schools have an institutional interest in doing so. What matters is whether it's legal.[/quote]

It’s already been held to be legal. This court will says that it is not. Just like abortion. [/quote]

In the 2006 case, the majority set a 25 year timeline to eliminate considering race in admissions.  The universities went the other way and considered race more.[/quote]

I’m confused. Is it 2031?[/quote]
Did the universities say they would be eliminating race in admissions by 2031?  That would be a possible way for them to win their case, as John Roberts likes to make minimalist decisions.[/quote]
