DETROIT, Michigan (AP) — The University of Michigan announced Wednesday it will comply with a new voter-approved ban on affirmative action and immediately stop considering race and gender in admissions.
The move came in the middle of the admissions process for next fall’s freshman class. The university has already begun sending out acceptance and rejection letters.
The state constitutional amendment approved by the voters in November bans the use of race and gender preferences in public university admissions and government hiring and contracting.
