Anyway to avoid obeying the law! They say they'll use tricks like accepting anyone in the top 10% of their HS graduating class ignoring the fact that at mostly black schools, even the top graduates can barely read!

june 30 2023 Leaders of scores of universities said Thursday that they were disappointed by what they see as a blow to diversity. Yet many also voiced optimism that they would find new ways to admit more Black and Hispanic students, despite evidence that
eliminating the practice often leads to steep enrollment decreases among them.
As an alternative to affirmative action, colleges from California to Florida have tried a range of strategies to achieve the diversity they say is essential to their campuses. Many have given greater preference to low-income families. Others started
admitting top students from every community in their state.
But years of experimentation — often prompted by state-level bans on considering race in admissions — left no clear solution. In states requiring race-neutral policies, many colleges saw enrollment drops among Black and Hispanic students, especially
at selective colleges that historically have been mostly white.
Other colleges were planning to boost recruiting in racially diverse areas, or admit more transfer students from community colleges.
Nine states already have banned affirmative action, starting with California in 1996 and, most recently, Idaho in 2020.
After Michigan voters rejected it in 2006, the University of Michigan shifted attention to low-income students.
It sent graduates to work as counselors in low-income high schools. It started offering college prep in Detroit and Grand Rapids. It offered full scholarships for low-income Michigan residents. More recently, it started accepting fewer early admission
applications, which are more likely to come from white students.
