The key here is ALL admissions based only on academic merit. In the past, some people who have a particular grudge against race based admissions find elaborate ways to excuse or justify other type of preferences. If academic merit is going to be the sole ticket in - lets stick to that for everyone at all colleges.
Universities are perfectly free to extend preferences based on any number of considerations: athletic ability, parents' affiliation with the university, place of residence, artistic ability, etc. they cannot, however, extend preference on the basis of race because that is prohibited by the Constitution.eace
