[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they prioritize economic diversity over race black / Hispanic numbers return to pre affirmative action while increasing the Asian numbers to 50%, but the white numbers take a 12% hit, it this happens Blum will say universities are using economics as a proxy for race to discriminate against whites[/quote]

The reason they never wanted to do income based affirmative action is because the majority of smart poor kids are rural whites.  Those are the absolute last group of people that college administrators want to help.[/quote]

It gave us JD Vance.[/quote]

He went to Ohio State on the GI Bill, did really well there, & got in Yale Law based on grades & LSAT. Where was the Affirmative Action?[/quote]

I say this as a military spouse (and both of us are lawyers), there’s absolutely AA in law school for veterans.[/quote]

I don’t consider it affirmative action.  Veterans absolutely have a special set of skills and work ethic earned and learned from their time in the service and that is taken into consideration for acceptance. [/quote]

Veterans preferences are usually considred "earned preferences"  If you kid is getting a preference because youa re a veteran, that is an unearned preference.[/quote]
