Politics: The Commonwealth
Virginia Tech restored its affirmative action/civil rights program last night. About a month ago, in a stealth move by one of the members of the governing body of Tech, the board basically removed all admissions rules that would create opportunities for diversity at the institution. Tech didn't accept black students until 1953, and still only has an African American population of 5%, while the commonwealth of Virginia is 20% black.
