UW-Madison shouldn?t deny the fact that it admits minority students at the expense of more qualified white students, and shouldn?t apologize for it. It?s a state institution serving a population with 6 percent blacks, yet its enrollment has fewer than 3 percent blacks. UW has an obligation to help solve the racial disparity in academic achievement of K-12 students by helping to produce more black college graduates who, as teachers and other professionals, would serve as role models for minority youth.
