At the University of Michigan, ends runs are supposed to be the business of running back Michael Hart. Yet the school’s alumni association is creating a series of race-exclusive scholarships, in the wake of last year’s statewide ban on racial preferences. Inside Higher Ed has a story here. Technically, this may not be a violation of the voter-approved Proposal 2 because the alumni association is a private group. But it still raises troubling issues as well as legal concerns. Alumni who send in their annual membership dues out of loyalty at least should know how a portion of their money is being spent. The Michigan Review has a new editorial against the race-based scholarships here.
