But a lawsuit against the school might occur if the high court overturns the University's race-con- scious policies in a ruling expected to be announced in late June or early July. Some students at the school are worried such a rul- ing would force the school to change its policies once again, Daniel said. "There are students out there who are very concerned with the case. The students know about it and are keeping an eye on it," he said. Hangey said student activists on campus are the most concerned with the potential ruling. Hincker said Board members did take into account the upcoming ruling on Michigan's cases in their deci- sion to reinstate the use of race in Virginia Tech's admissions policies. Daniel said he agrees with the Board's decision because the court has not yet banned the use of race in admissions. "I think (reinstating the policy) is the appropriate thing to do at this time ... the law has not changed yet," he said. "When the law does change, if it does, they'll have to review it." Gallagher said the Board should have waited for the court ruling before making any changes to its policy. Hincker said the policy has long been a source of discussion between the attorney general and the univer- sity, and that the attorney general has written several briefs to the school regarding its policies. Administra- tors will continue to seek the attorney general's guid- ance, he added. "The attorney general has opined considerably on this issue," he said. "Our programs will be consistent with advice and guidance from the office of the attor- ney general." Virginia Tech's student body was split over the new policy approved March 10, partially because the change occurred during a closed-door meeting, Daniel said, and because the Board did not list the issue of the school's race-conscious policies on the meeting agenda. Daniel added that he did not see any reason to elimi- nate sexual orientation as an admissions factor in the new policy. "All students and everyone applying here should be free from discrimination."
