I have a confession to make - Ive had the tendency to jump on the occasional bandwagon. Yes, I Blame(d) it on the rain with Milli Vanilli, Jump(ed) with Kris Kross, and sang along to YMCA at sporting events.

Like with many rivalries, sporting events elicited this bias, which was eventually directed against the universitys students, its academic quality, and even the school as a whole. Soon the 6th Circuit Court will issue a ruling on affirmative action at U-M, a ruling with broad implications on the admissions policies of all public universities.
