Wayne State Law School Dean Frank Wu is quoted in an opinion piece about the proposed Michigan Civil Rights Initiative that would eliminate affirmative action. \"Affirmative action is merely a means to an end. It is an attempt to give all people a chance to achieve the great American Dream. Asian Americans, especially those of us who are close to our immigrant origins, (must) understand that ideal," Wu said. Wayne State's Michigan Metropolitan Information Center is also referenced in the story for providing census data.
