Hispanic, Higher Education Groups Urge Bush Support of Affirmative Action

by Black Issues , January 30, 2003

Categories:

In another action, leaders of 34 higher education associations sent a letter to President Bush asking the administration to file an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the University of Michigan in the cases.

"American higher education is considered the best in the world because of America's long-standing tradition of government deference to educators' judgment on academic questions, such as what combination of students yields the best educational outcomes," wrote American Council on Education president Dr. David Ward in the letter that was sent on behalf of the associations.

At Black Issues' press time, one day before legal briefs were due to the Supreme Court, White House officials announced that Bush would declare his opposition to Michigan's use of race in college admissions.
