While fairness is important, the point is promoting someone with lesser ability (IQ or academic) into an environment they are not equipped to excel in ultimately leads to their undoing.

But you and I disagree about their being unable to excel. Admittedly, they would have a higher failure/attrition rate, but many of them would succeed, and those are the students who the Affirmative Action folks are trying to protect and encourage.[/quote]
But why would you stack the deck against them?
Nationwide, African American graduation rate is only at 40%. In California, after prop 209, African American graduation rate is 70%. Of course the national rate includes states such as CA and Michigan that disallow racial preference. So essentially graduation rate is 100% better when you don’t create artificial mismatch of students and schools.
