But look under the other Bush
Article Abstract:
Jeb Bush, governor of Florida, aims to end affirmative action in that state, a move that critics argue will lead to a reduction in the proportion of non-whites in universities. A similar move in Texas had not had this result. Allowing the top students from each high school graduating class access to university has brought in students from poorer areas such as those from rural high schools, where there were previously few students going on to university. Supporters of the move in Florida see it as a way of preserving racial diversity while ending racial quotas, which have become increasingly unpopular.
