MADISON – Wisconsin state colleges shouldnââ?¬â?¢t use an applicantââ?¬â?¢s race to help decide whether he or she gets into school, an affirmative action opponent told a packed committee hearing Tuesday night.
Ward Connerly, chairman of the California-based American Civil Rights Coalition, which supports banning public affirmative action programs, said he believes the University of Wisconsin System should look at other factors besides academics when deciding who gets a slot, but not race.
