Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has upheld an informal opinion on the University of Wisconsinâ??s admissions policy, which includes race as one of many factors to be considered.
One of the Republican legislators who sought the opinion, Sen. Glenn Grothmann of West Bend, says he is â??disappointedâ? with Van Hollenâ??s ruling and promises to introduce legislation to stop the policy.
His effort will only make it more difficult to ensure that UW enrollment reflects the state population as a whole.
