Support mounts for Michigan policy

Supporters of the University of Michigan's race-conscious admissions policy said Monday that by last night's deadline, the Supreme Court would have received more than 60 legal briefs supporting the policy.

More than 300 colleges, congressmen, law schools, education organizations, businesses and labor unions have signed or submitted briefs supporting the policy now being contested before the high court.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs dismissed the outpouring of support for the policy saying the Supreme Court is not running a "popularity contest" but "trying to decide what the Constitution requires."
