The University of Michigan selects students by giving blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians an extra 20 points toward admission (with about 100 or 110 points guaranteeing a slot in the freshman class)โa policy that is now before the Supreme Court. My old student newspaper, the Michigan Review, held a bake sale yesterday: whites and Asians had to pay $1 for bagels and muffins, and โunderrepresented minoritiesโ were charged 80 cents. All proceeds went to the United Negro College Fund.
