."So a white applicant with an index of 730 would have ~ 5% chance of getting in (e.g., if your dad was Michigan’s lieutenant governor, say, you’d probably get in), while a black with a 730 would have ~ 95% chance."

I graduated University of Texas law school lare 80s. Was told by Dean when I stood next to him at some affirmative action demo (DOT) and asked why not release the statistics to show how many blacks we would have with and w/o affirmative action. Was told 48 with, 2 without.
