Ok, I got a question for everyone that should stir up some debate. I go to the University of Georgia. What UGA used to do was have a "points system" for people to get into the school. I am not sure exactly how it went but I am sure it was SAT+GPA,ext..

Awhile back, they awarded blacks EXTRA points so they could try to intensify diversity on campus. Right now there is 1.9% black males. They wanted that number out. But the courts ruled that UGA COULDN'T DO IT after a little while because it unfairly put white kids out of UGA for reasons they couldn't help so they scratched that idea.

Should colleges (such as what Michigan is going through) do this?

My personaly opinion? I think it's a joke. I know kids in Atlanta that have enough trouble getting in with 3.2's and 1100 into Georgia. If they want to keep raising the standards at UGA, they should pick the BEST kids, regardless of race...
