Does the Law School admit unqualified minority students?
A. No. The Law School admits only students who are expected to succeed. Moreover, history has vindicated the Law School s admissions judgments. Law School graduates of all races have distinguished themselves as partners in major law firms, holders of federal and state elective office, judges and justices, and senior business executives. Q21. Barbara Grutter is the named plaintiff, but she represents a class of hundreds of white plaintiffs. Given that only 25 African Americans enrolled in the entering class in the year that Ms. Grutter was not admitted to the Law School, how could there be so many people in the plaintiff class? A. CIR does not claim that everyone in the plaintiff class would have been admitted to the Law School. However, it claims that each person in the plaintiff class is entitled to unspecified damages solely because a colorblind process was not used in the admissions process, regardless of whether an individual student would have been admitted under such a process.
