Obama enjoys using the word fair until it comes to college admissions.
Instead of fairly picking students based on merit, the Obama administration
is pressuring the Supreme Court to allow colleges to discriminate against
non-minorities in the so-called liberal name of "diversity." What else
should we expect from the first Affirmative Action president?

The Obama administration urged the Supreme Court on Monday to continue to
allow universities to take race into account when assembling their student
bodies, saying the government has a “vital interest” in drawing its leaders
from a diverse pool of college graduates.
The administration supported the University of Texas, whose policy of
considering race as one factor in deciding who will be admitted to the
flagship university in Austin is being challenged.
The case will be one of the most important of the court’s coming term
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/supreme-court-agrees-to-reconsider-use-of-race-in-college-admission-decisions/2010/07/28/gIQA2viJRR_story.html>—
underscored by more than 50 friend-of-the-court briefs filed by outside
groups and individuals.
The Supreme Court said nine years ago that universities had a legitimate
interest
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/college-affirmative-action-back-on-supreme-courts-horizon/2011/07/28/gIQApXnwlI_story.html>in
building diverse classes and provided guidelines for administrators: An
applicant’s status could not be automatically boosted because of his or her
race, but race could be one factor in a holistic review of the person’s
qualifications.
Opponents of affirmative action have urged the court — now with justices
more averse to race-conscious solutions — to reconsider the 2009 decision
in *Grutter v. Bollinger*, or at least to find that UT’s process falls
outside those strict standards.
The policy is being challenged by a white student, Abigail Fisher, who said
she was rejected by the university while less-qualified minorities were
admitted, violating her constitutional rights. She graduated from Louisiana
State University in the spring.
