Justice Sotomayor says universities need more diversity

ANN ARBOR, Mich. —U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday said future diversity on college campuses is a key to diversifying society at large, noting that the number of black students at the University of Michigan is a "real problem."

Sotomayor received an honorary degree and participated in a forum about the future of university communities as part of a series of events this year celebrating the University of Michigan's bicentennial.

Sotomayor, the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court and daughter of Puerto Rican-born parents, was asked by a moderator what a university will need to look like in the years ahead to be inclusive and innovative.

"It's going to look a lot like Michigan," she said to applause, "but with even greater diversity."

From the main article:

"The percentage of black undergraduate students at the University of Michigan has been pretty steady in recent years at less than 5 percent. Hispanics are 5.5 percent. White undergraduates are 65.4 percent."

If you add up the percentages it equals almost 76%. Does this mean the other 24% are Asian,Native American, or Pacific Islander. If so than to diversify and have more Blacks and Latinos that means they would have to get rid of some of the Asians so that the school would be more representative of the population. BUT WOULDN'T THAT BE DISCRIMINATION?

Only Liberals can be so stupid. Boycott liberals before they destroy the Asian population.

That number increase should come only after improvements in primary and secondary education that lead to college, not by lowering the bar.

So, discriminate entrants by color of their skin, not the content of their character, eh? Let's turn back a few pages and ask Dr. Martin Luther King about that, ok?

It is very telling that so many of you call a person on the Supreme Court an idiot based solely on the fact of which president appointed them. Must be the same people that believe Bill Gates is dumb because he is a democrat. Why not boycott Microsoft and stop using any computer with Windows?

You can't force blacks and Latinos to do better in elementary and high school and when they fail them we are to give them a free ride to college. Give me a break. They majority of blacks and Latinos are not interested in education and do not apply. That's the reason for the percentage difference.

Her job is to enforce the laws of our Constitution. Her political views on diversity should be kept to herself.
