<p>I just wanted to hear some opinions on the possible end of affirmative action, specifically in college admission.</p>
<p>Here is the article if you haven't already heard:

<p>Even if it does end, I still think preferences towards under represented minority students will remain virtually the same. Colleges and employers will continue to foster ideas of racial and ethnic diversity.
IMO</p>
<p>^Unfortunately studies show that is not the case. Like with UCs. The numbers begin to decline slowly. I am a big proponent of AA and hope the law isn’t repealed.</p>
<p>Like Madame Justice Sandra O’Connor said in her famous ruling, to paraphrase: ‘Affirmation Action must end some day, I don’t know when but today is not that day.’</p>
<p>Wow I thought it wasn’t a factor because of prop 209 but maybe that’s just california…</p>
