Suit seeks Proposal 2 compliance

Wayne State is mentioned in this story about the most recent legal maneuver by the Center for Individual Rights to force the University of Michigan to comply with a voter-approved ban on some public-sector affirmative action programs. The center has asked a Washtenaw County judge to order a preliminary injunction that would compel U-M to stop considering race in admissions and financial aid. The center won a legal victory last week when a federal appeals court ruled that U-M, Wayne State and MSU should not have received an extension until July 1 to implement provisions of Proposal 2. Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, who had supported the July 1 extension, has said he will file to intervene in the latest case in support of the petition by the Center for Individual Rights.
