The University of Michigan has decided to obey the law. University officials will seek diversity in other ways than through preferences for individuals who happen to have a particular skin color or sex. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if officials preferred academic excellence?

Addendum: It occurred to me after posting this that college campuses have become little socialist utopias, replete with indoctrination. The progressives who run the campuses know that they’ll never be able to create a society-wide socialist utopia, and that frustrates them, so they do the next best thing. Their aim is to send little indoctrinated socialists out into the world. What we need are more colleges and universities that are devoted to the disinterested pursuit of truth.
