    Non-whites having less access is good in this context, because they were being unfairly given an advantage before. I agree with your premise about bias, but why should the solution to that be to artificially inflate the people being discriminated against, instead of trying to provide a system that doesn’t have room for discrimination?

    Class based alternative action, along with anonymizing applicant details pertinent to their race is a meaningful alternative to AA.

      I agree on the last point, but there isn’t a class based system in place, nor is there a plan to implement one (that I can find).

      That, I shall continue to argue, makes this very not good.

        I agree with no proper replacement this will overall have a negative effect. I think the method race-based AA uses was very flawed.
