UMich Still Using Race!

From the Michigan Daily:

"University officials have decided to continue making race, gender and national origin information visible to admissions officers.

Admissions officials said in March that they hadn't decided whether to restrict that data. But they decided over the summer to keep the information available for this admissions cycle with the understanding that it would not play a role in decisions, said Erica Sanders, the interim director of recruitment and operations for undergraduate admissions.

Sanders said she didn't think letting admissions officers see the data would pose a problem.

'We simply have stated that race and gender cannot be considered in the process,' she said.

Sanders said the criteria for admission are the same as last year, except the essay applicants to every one of the University's schools and colleges must write has changed."
