Remember when Affirmative Action proponents said that the racial preferences at the University of Michigan were relatively insignificant, piddly, not quotas at all, one a small portion of how the school evaluated prospective students?

Well Michigan has no such policy now and minority admissions have dropped 30%.

They changed their policy a teenie tiny insignificant bit, just tweaking a small part of how applicants are evaluated, and the effect is a 30% drop in minority admissions.

Phew.
