UM: Court Ruling

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Proposal 2 – approved by voters in 2006 and banning the consideration of race and gender when enrolling students at public colleges and universities – is unconstitutional because it burdens minorities, according to an Associated Press report. The article notes that because of Proposal 2, the University of Michigan and other public schools were forced to change admissions policies offering preferential treatment based on race and gender. The ruling was issued on July 1. [Source] [.pdf of court ruling]
