said race is used as a factor in
admissions to achieve diversity buit
is just one oif many factors used in
evaluating candidates. Other factors
include residency, letters of recoin-
nienidations, transcripts arid standard-
I ed test scores.
"1 know of no law school which has
been able to dece-e anything like the
racial diversity wc have here. As of
today, no other cffort has been sue-
cessfjil," Lehimian said.
Close to home
When tie hearinrg beginis tomorrow,
miany studeiits plan to be in atten-
dance as they try to persuade Duggani
to niove the trial to Ann Arbor.
Although the judge is set to
announce wheii and where the trials
will be held, the student irtervenors
are concerned that the trial proceed-
inigs may comiriince in Detroit at the
beginning of Dcecmber, making it dif-
ficult fIM stuidents to attend because of
distance arnd final exams.
Racklin student Jessica ('urtin said
Duggani is sending a negative message
to students if' he decides to hold the
trials in Detroit.
"Regard less of h1is stated inteitions,
if .udge DIuggaii makes the trials when
students can 't attend, lae implies lie
has alr-eady niade a decision,", said
'urtini, one of' the inter'venors in the
L aw School case.
Shanta D~river, another intervenor in
the Law School case, said it is impera-
live fur students to attend.
'.ludge Duggaii's decision is a very
dangerouls decision and the University
should take a str-ong stand against it.
Access has virtually been denied to the
students arid student access to these
cases is essential," Driver said.
Ina April. U.S. D~istrict Judge Ber-
niar-d riedmnan held a pi-etrial hearing
fur the L aw School case in Anni Arbor.
Thie visitor's gallery filled to capacity
arid Friedmni al lowved miore people to
enter the courtr-oomi, seating them in
the jur-y box.
Barry said that while she would like
to have the trials in Ann Arbor so they
are more accessible to all menibers
of' the University, there is rno way to
anticipate what the judge will decide.
. Student participation has been
extremely irmportant. It has demniir-
strated what these cases mieani, but
we'r'e just going to have to wait for tlie
judge's decision,," Barry said.
Ready for action
Barry said that whlenever Duggan
dlecides the trial will be held, the Urii-
versity will be ready.
"We're ready to go to trial when-
ever the judge says it will start," Barry
saidl. "We el very con fiderit aboult
the mricits of the ease legally and also
as factual mtter''
While it has taken years foritie cases
to get to court, Barry said shie thinks
the cases will be decided quickly.
Barry said that there have been other
cases at other universities cial lenging
the urse of race as a Iacetor in admiis-
sioris but the eases at this University
are (differ-enit because of defcnse tac-
ties.
One definiiig characteristic of- the
University's (defense is the use of
previously uniused eripirical cvi-
dence and rceai-clistudfies. The Urii-
vcrsity contends tlhey will be key to
the defenise, whiIc (CI R lawyers have
said they clutter the case arid skirt
the constitutional qurestions at issuec
in the case.
"What 's unique arid imvportanit (about
the case) is that the Univem-sity has
chosen to defenid it so compi-elieii-
sively," Barry said.
The Law School case is scheduled
to go to trial in January. If sunmriny
Judgment is not gralnted to either side,
the LSA case could go to trial as early
as December.
