I still don't understand how the top Black studies universities are Ivy League and not places like Tuskegee, Wilberforce, and Fisk. Shouldn't the critical mass be at Black universities?

You wondered before oral argument if they would focus on African Americans & whites. David Bernstein now has an extended complaint that precisely that happened at an academic conference he attended. Who do we expect to have a more nuanced take on race/ethnicity in America: judges or academics?

I think GLPiggy (accidentally?) explained why UT is so eager to use race preferences to admit "upper class" minorities even though the "10% plan" already puts plenty of visible minorities on campus: too many of the 10% contingent flunk out or drop out!

The UT wants some minority alums to guest star at fundraisers and help pad the USN&WR type survey scores. Upper-class minorities are more likely to graduate, even if they rarely achieve the intellectual heights that students chosen by merit do.

"Thus, it continues to makes more sense for an ambitious young black to join the Army than the Navy."
