'One size fits all' affirmative action is not a good idea, imo. Actually, I'm a 'states rights' person on these matters, and I trust that institutions know their own issues than the government. I have always been swayed by the argument that a colegiate experience benfeits from exposure to diverse peoples, but diversity varies according top your specific local. (Then again, I am not a lawyer) Northern New Hampshire, btw, has had difficulties attracting 'traditional' minorities, though we are usually successful at having people of rural French-Canadian backgrounds sitting next to offspring of suburbanites from Boston.
Seriously, this issue is of potential value to any Measurement class, and deserves to be discussed more. There are many facets to this issue. If no others pick up on them I may offer them for reaction later ... ----------------------------- John W.
