And what, exactly, is the benefit of a diverse student body?

A diverse student body permits U of Michiagn president Mary Sue Coleman and her colleagues to preen at cocktail parties about how virtuous they are.

Any other questions?

University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman said she would investigate an immediate legal challenge to the proposal, which officials said would severely hamper efforts to ensure a diverse student body.

I never thought about it, but there must be a financial reason universities value "affirmative action" above education. Universities are all about money, and since they can now get money from Federal education bureaucrats (who are Marxists), they are now all about Marxism and nothing but Marxism.

So I ask, how does affirmative discrimination lead to more money for universities and their ditzy Stalinist presidents? There has to be an answer.
