A Sordid Admission

Apparently, Indiana University has been lying to the Supreme Court (in its amicus brief in support of The University of Michigan's reverse-discrimination case) about the extent that it lowered its admissions for minority candidates. Peter Wood in NRO reports on the efforts of Scott Dillon to uncover what IU has actually been doing, having to resort to state FOIA-type requests to get past IU's stonewalling.

Roughly speaking, to meet our de facto quotas, we must leapfrog less qualified minority applicants over approximately 330 more qualified non-minority applicants each year, many of whom, of course, will be Indiana residents.

According to this NRO article,

As Dillon explains, "For each year for almost a decade, the average black student offered admission had an LSAT score of roughly the 30th percentile nationally, while the average non-minority admit had an LSAT score in roughly the 80th percentile."

One glaring omission I see is that people that support affirmative action can never define the case for when affirmative action ends. Can there ever be a bar set to say "That's it. Task accomplished."? Is it time? How long is enough? 50 years? 100 years? 250 years?
