Michigan Law Schools Revise Admissions Policies in Wake of Prop 2

The Wayne State University Law School has revised its admissions policies following passage of a state referendum that banned the consideration of race in school admissions in Michigan.

Under the new policy, Wayne State will automatically admit applicants whose GPA and LSAT scores meet or exceed a set benchmark. Other applicants will be judged on a broader range of criteria, including place of residence and life experience. Detroit-area residents and residents of Native American reservations are among the applicants who will continue to be favored.

The University of Michigan Law School says that it will respect the new law but continue to strive for diversity in its admissions.
