Teach-in to address U-M admissions policy

MSU history Professor Pero Dagbovie will lead an affirmative action teach-in at 8 p.m. today in Wonders Hall Kiva.

The event, sponsored by the Council of Racial Ethnic Students, is designed to educate people about the University of Michigan's admissions policy, which awards prospective students points for their academic history, race, location, family's connection with the university and a variety of other factors.

"We really are looking for people to go who don't know about affirmative action," said journalism sophomore Shanita Baxter, a racial ethnic student aide. Baxter said she most wants opponents of affirmative action to attend the teach-in.

"After going to the affirmative action rallies and affirmative action events, I see protesters," she said. "I really wish they would go and learn something."
