Another Beneficiary Of Prop. 2: Yale!

According to an article in today’s Yale Daily News, new state requirements for racial equality may be good for Yale.

Yale’s efforts to increase racial and socioeconomic diversity in the student body may get a small boost from an unusual source: voters in California, Michigan and, in 2008, potentially a handful of other states.

States that have enacted constitutional amendments banning the use of racial preferences in public college admissions have seen acceptance rates for minority applicants go down. As more states consider such measures, civil rights advocates said, private colleges may inherit those students who can no longer get into public schools, or who no longer want to attend public schools with increasingly homogenous student bodies. But the amendments could also be a sign of a growing conservative influence on all spheres of higher education, they said.

So, Yale might admit students who, in the absence of racial preference, are no longer admitted to Michigan, Berkeley, UCLA, et. al.? Interesting.

Say What?
