► ‘Quotas’a dirty
word at law schools
Law school officials around the counuy watched 4nd
wailed for the imjiac i of a L: .S. education department
ruling to tom h their school*
'Hie decision. alter all, wa* supposed to be a prree
dent-setting case The Department of Education ruled
last tail that an admission* policy at the l*. of
California, Berkeley, violated a federal law In group
ing minority landidate* to lie considered only against
other minorities for admission
I hose who expected sweeping change* from the
Berkeley decision are still waiting ’Almost no other
law school* — if there are any I’m not aware of them —
had such a detailed system of racial identification and
goals,* sa\s John DiPippa, associate dean of the law
si (tool ai the U, of Arkansas, little Rock,
DiPippa, like many of his colleagues around the
country, believes the affirmative action policy at hi*
law school will escape ramifications of the Berkeley
deeisic >n.
Unlike the Berkeley policy, admissions at the I.’, of
Arkansas are not based on any set of goals or quotas
that single out minorities. Applicants are put into two
groups one based on lest score* and grade point aver
ages, the other on score* that fall below those num
hers.
Dil’ippa point* to the far-rearhing nature of
Berkeley’* admissions policy, which tome *av broke
the boundaries of traditional affirmative action prrv
grams - no quotas and no muioniy tracts.
Mai k Ftnkclstein. a student at the Stanford U. law
school, say* law school* stav away from minority track
ing for good reason.
*ln general, minority Harking is demeaning and
stigmituiiig." he says. "Everyone views minorities as
‘You wouldn't have gotten in here if it weren't for thr
admissions.
Berkeley traditionally has accepted afMiut 2.H to 27
percent of each class horn these minority tract*
"The impression I iiad there was come hell or high
water tficv had to have 'X' number of minority stu
dents,’ savs Thomas Arthur, associate dean of the
Emory U. law school.
It is normal prac tier at law schools to take race into
consideration hut not to maintain it as an overriding
factor, he savs.
So what the Berkeley dec ision will do is force law
sc hoots to take a look at these affirmative action poli
tics. even if it means stopping short of changing them.
"There should be some (leicibility, but there is a
line." says Doug Fleming, president of the Student Bar
Association at thr Northwestern U. law school. “1
don't know what that line is. Everyone struggles with
that issue." ■ Amy Johnston, H aleru Herald, Western
