not to mention those points are particularly relevant. AA in education doesn't award public money to minorities, it allows them a slot in the program. They either obtain or possess the funds to pay for the courses, their tuition doesn't change as a function of race.
In the cases where graduate programs provided means for students to attend the program, the money (or job) is allotted to all the students, not just the minorities. We could point to various low level scholarships (like diversity funds = ~$1-2000 dollars, which might buy books) to refute my statement, but then we'd have to see whether that money stems from public coffers. Funds from the Ford Foundation are privately donated--so they don't count either.
But the point is that AA isn't about tuition or money, it's about access. The student still has to obtain funding from some source. The two aren't linked together at the admissions level.
