Univ. of Missouri Officials Worried...

... that Missouri voters might eliminate their ability to engage in racial discrimination, i.e., ?diversity efforts.?

Ann Korschgen, vice provost for enrollment management, recently told the MU faculty council that ?a referendum on the ballot in November that would not allow race to be considered in enrollment decisions? would present an ?enrollment challenge.?

?We?re concerned that this will have a very chilling impact on our diversity efforts,? Korschgen said.

Of course, if the University of Missouri didn?t place such a heavy racial thumb on the admissions scale, banning its use wouldn?t have such a dramatic impact.

I wonder if Ms. Korschgen would be willing to share with the citizens of Michigan just how MU does ?take race into account,? as the euphemism goes.

On second thought, I don?t.
