[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5630750, member: 24302"] Good for you. I'm not familiar with that scoring system but the crux of these lawsuits were that the future of applicants was being harmed because they were passed over for someone with a significantly worse academic record but they were chosen because they were in the right racial group. If it was a one off no biggie except to the one passed over. But it was/is systemic and those who spent their entire education careers maintaining superior grades were routinely passed over for those who didn't. We aren't talking about blacks with excellent records who earned the right. Those who had less than stellar records could still get into state universities but they aren't owed a place in an elite school but that was what they were getting in the name of diversity. Affirmative action originally was created to address blacks being shut out of schools, jobs, promotions. It has developed into insuring they can get ahead in some circumstances based solely on their race, at the expense of others. That's the unfairness that was addressed yesterday. [/QUOTE]
