Oh.

I thought it was that due to being black they weren't being admitted.

President Lyndon Johnson said in 1965, "You do not take a person who, for 
years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring
him up to the starting line of a race and then say you are free to compete with 
all the others, and still just believe that you have
been completely fair."

President Johnson's speech eloquently stated the rationale behind the 
contemporary use of affirmative action programs to achieve
equal opportunity, especially in the fields of employment and higher education.

White men make up only 48% of the college educated workforce, yet they make up 
96% of America's CEO positions,86% of Law Firm
partnerships and 85% of tenured college positions.

Could you explain that please?

the theory I believe was that due to racism blacks were not meeting admission 
criteria.
