The woman who killed affirmative action. Twice.
No one was more thrilled with Tuesday’s Supreme Court decision to uphold
Michigan’s affirmative action ban than Jennifer Gratz.
Her name wasn’t on the Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action
case — but it may as well have been. It was Gratz’s rejection from the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1995 that set the court’s decision
in motion.
Gratz is the woman who inspired two separate cases before the Supreme Court
on affirmative action in higher education, ending with the justices’ 6-2
ruling Tuesday that upheld a constitutional amendment in Michigan that
voters approved in 2006. It bans preferential treatment based on race,
gender, ethnicity or national origin.

Gratz said she will continue keeping watch over the issue in the coming
months.
“Nothing from our opposition would surprise me anymore,” Gratz said. “
They are radical and they would use any means necessary.”
Back in the mid-1990s, the university assigned a point value to applications
from minority students that could help them get in. Gratz, who is white,
didn’t land a spot despite a 3.8 GPA and a host of extracurricular
activities. She was admitted to Michigan’s Dearborn campus instead of the
university’s flagship.
Gratz sued in 1997. In 2003, the Supreme Court found Michigan’s specific
methods of affirmative action to be illegal. But a ruling in a case that was
paired with Gratz’s — Grutter v. Bollinger — upheld the principle behind
the university’s admissions process, saying diversity is a compelling
interest in higher education. The court said it expected that the need for
weighting applications based on race would eventually disappear.
(Earlier on POLITICO: SCOTUS upholds ban on affirmative action)
“You know, back in 2003 … the court had said that these policies should be
eliminated in 25 years,” Gratz said. “I think that this moves that in
that direction. It also says that voters and elected officials in other
states can make that expiration date tomorrow if they’d like to.”
“These policies are living on borrowed time,” she said.
Fast forward to 2006: Gratz became the force behind a Michigan ballot
initiative that banned affirmative action in the state. Some 58 percent of
voters approved the measure, which also bans officials from taking race into
account in hiring and contracting. It was challenged the day after it
passed, leading to a series of court battles, arguments before the Supreme
Court last October — which she attended — and culminating in Tuesday’s
decision.
Gratz, now 37, said she thinks the country is moving closer to a point at
which all colleges and universities will cast off affirmative action, either
through legislation or through ballot measures like Michigan’s. Tuesday’s
decision didn’t affect the legality of affirmative action itself, though
it did affirm that states can ban the practice.
Last year, the Supreme Court revisited affirmative action again in Fischer v
. University of Texas, a case the court remanded to the states, which left
the Grutter decision untouched.
“There are always those who want to stand in the schoolhouse door, if you
will,” Gratz said, alluding to attempts to stop public school integration
in the 1960s. “I think that this ruling took us one step closer to equality
.”
But there’s a larger issue at hand, said Michael Olivas, director of the
Institute for Higher Education Law and Governance at the University of
Houston. States are making decisions about higher education via ballot
measures, which can overturn nuanced, long-standing public policy in an
instant.
“Conducting important educational business via ballot measure is a very bad
development, and I say it’s bad even if my issue would win,” Olivas said.
Gratz said she wasn’t surprised by the court’s decisive ruling on the ban.
The court’s stronger position on race — particularly, liberal Justice
Stephen Breyer’s decision to favor the ban — is a “testament to how
important the issue of equality is,” Gratz said.
Gratz has turned her focus to the nonprofit she created, the XIV Foundation,
which produces materials and reports in favor of ending all race-based
policies. Its name comes from the 14th Amendment, specifically drawing from
the Equal Protection clause. Her experiences have given her a “foundation
to advocate for equal treatment under the law” in the future, Gratz said.
She also runs a microbrewery in Fort Myers, Fla., with her husband. She is
fighting a battle on that front, too: She wants to change Florida
regulations that prohibit selling 64-ounce growlers.
Gratz said she will need to digest the latest court ruling before planning
her next move.
“We will be watching what universities and all colleges do in the wake of
this ruling,” Gratz said. “There are challenges all the time to programs
that treat people differently based on their skin color. I think we could
very well see more.”
Just last week, Gratz challenged Michigan high school senior Brooke
Kimbrough to a public debate over race-based college admissions. Kimbrough,
who is black, is protesting her rejection from the University of Michigan. | d****z

高法的那个劳模法官sotomayor在反对意见里讲了一大篇AA如何好，她自己如何获益，
就是没去定义谁是少数民族，搞了半天只有墨黑是默认的minority。
华裔很像几十年前的犹太，以前被歧视现在悄悄成了overachiever。

北大也有aa，少数民族好像低分优先。北大还地域歧视，福建比北京小孩难上得多。
