LOL...make that: "in swing voter Tampa!"

Considering what we learned in 2000 about Florida vote counting practices, maybe you were right the first time ;-)

Great photo. Imagine Reno in that room instead of Jeb. Poor kids would be shrieking in terror.

Moreover, diversity in the university system remained virtually unchanged, with minorities making up more than 36 percent of the entering class.

Does this figure mean all non-whites?

I would guess yes, but see post #12, as I am sure the correct answer to your question is found somewhere in that link I posted.

Thanks. But I'd like to find out the specifics of why the prior Florida affirmative action plan would fall within the 11th Circuit's holding that the Georgia race-based admissions policy was unconstitutional. Can you provide any specifics about the prior plan and tell me the name of the 11th Circuit case or provide a link to it?

I don't mean to ask too much of you, but you have earned a reputation for being most helpful.

LOL...I love questions. And, you have a good one. Now, let me check my Answer Book here, and get back to you... :)!

I found the 11th Circuit case. Now I need specifics on the Florida affirmative action plan.

See post #12. I will post another link for you in my next reply on this thread.

At least you didn't type 'swinger voter'!

LOL!

Actually, I meant the old program, but your link provides some information on both old and new.

Thanks again.

My pleasure. Thanks for letting me know. :)
