'Diversity' . . . D'oh!: Some tactical stumbles on the way to the Michigan debacle.
The Supreme Court delivered a huge blow to equal opportunity on June 23, but the two cases involving "diversity" at the University of Michigan may have been lost well before then. That's because the Center for Individual Rights, the Washington, D.C.-based law firm handling the litigation, made a tactical decision early on not to challenge Michigan's claim that racial and ethnic diversity improves the quality of higher education. "We didn't have the resources to turn it into an issue," says Curt Levey of CIR. "Besides, people out there have a sense that diversity is valuable, and we didn't want to get into a debate over that. We wanted to focus on the legal principles."
