Frankly, you are surprising me. If you keep arguing against things I never even stated then I'm going to stop responding to you.
First of all, obviously anyone involved in extra-curricular activities would have received points for their actions--that isn't even an issue that I raised.
Secondly, no race is being awarded points--that's what was struck down in the Supreme Court.
How does that extend to barring admission counselors from reviewing all the merits of an applicant, deciding they want some more black, Hispanic, or homosexual viewpoints in the incoming cohort and admit them on that basis?
It doesn't and the ruling supports such decisions.
Now get off it, two white students were not refused admission due to some requirement to allow two unqualified (or even less qualified) minority students in.
Read the case.
