I don't know that they expected "more preferences," but from their statements and the information I've seen they did (rightfully) expect more programs (support) because U-Mich fraudulently lead them to believe that.

Where is that? Please demonstrate it for me. Is the request to be treated fairly and not discriminated against asking for preference? In that case, every person who enters an institution wants the "preference" of equal treatment.

I am anxious to hear both sides of this argument as I have my own personal reservations about the situation. This will teach me a lot about more than just discrimination in education, which I know firsthand is reality. It will also teach me about some of the dynamics of the career of a graduate student and Garlin IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701783033736075269noreply@blogger.com
