While state school can only use race as one of many factors legally, private schools (and Umich) have quotas (10% African Americans at Umich)
Further, the LSAT and GPA requirements are on a sliding scale at private schools--an admissions index that would give a white male a 30-50% shot would give a minority an 80-90% shot.
An index that would result in automatic ("presumptive") denial for a white would result in a 30-50% shot for a minority.
So some AA is quota-based, some is sliding down admissions standards, and some (the MINORITY, I'm afraid) uses race as "one of many factors"

You are mistaken. Michigan Law does not have a 10% quota for African Americans; look at the CIR's case in Grutter for accurate, and varying, stats since the current policy was put into place.
