Affirmative action
policies under fire
■ A Georgia court decision
found one school’s admission
policies unconstitutional, though
it shouldn’t affect the University
By Leon Tovey
Oregon Daily Emerald
A recent circuit court decision re
garding affirmative action in college
admissions policies at the Universi
ty of Georgia may have some univer
sities across the country re-examin
ing their policies on the issue.
However, the University of Oregon
probably won’t be among them.
Last month, the 11th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled that the Uni
versity of Georgia’s Total Student In
dex, or TSI, system was unconstitu
tional. The TSI considers factors
such as race and socioeconomic
backgrounds of students not auto
matically admitted on the basis of
high school grades and standardized
test scores and assigns extra points
toward those students’ admission.
While the decision has no direct im
pact on universities located outside
the jurisdictions of the court, it does
create concerns for admissions of
fices throughout the country.
According to Director of Admis
sions Martha Pitts, the University of
Oregon uses a system similar to the
University of Georgia for as much as
20 percent of new students admitted
each year. The standards for automat
ic admission to the University for
freshmen are graduation from a stan
dard or accredited high school and
completion of required coursework, a
3.0 cumulative high school GPA and
submission of SAT I or ACT scores.
“About 80 to 85 percent of our ap
plicants are qualified,” Pitts told the
Emerald last week. “For those who
don’t automatically qualify, we look
at a number of factors, including
grade trends, special talents, race
and economic background. ”
The major difference between the
University of Oregon’s system and
the one used by the University of
Georgia, Pitts pointed out, is that the
University of Oregon does not as
sign points based on those factors.
“Affirmative action often focuses
on students of color who don’t qual
ify (for admission),” she said.
“Frankly, that’s not the case here. ”
That sentiment is echoed by
Katherine Jernberg, director of ad
missions at the University’s Law
School, who said that while the
