				Flyer at University
			 
			I work out at the local university's Rec Center.  One of the flyers on a billboard had the following statement at the bottom: "Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution that Encourages Diversity--printed on recycled paper with soy ink." I couldn't help but notice how many PC/left-leaning buzzwords they had packed into that statement. I also couldn't help but notice what to a rational person would be the contradiction between "Equal Opportunity" and "Affirmative Action".

			There can be no equality when quotas are involved.

			Legion, you and I disagree on some things but here I have to agree with both your observations.  Equal Opportunity would seem on its face to be antithetical to Affirmative Action.  I understand.  I also understand that some folks believe that certain groups do not have the same opportunities as you and I, even when the playing field for a specific job appears "level."  But again, I see the apparent contradiction between these terms. And of course, I would also agree this sentence is a dense collection of currently popular buzzwords.

			Perfect example of vulnerable yet unknowing minds manipulated by leftist acedemia. Those who can't do, teach.

			The UM just settled a 10 year old anti-affirmitive action case(reverse discrimination), which would allow further plaintiffs.  http://www.michigancivilrights.org/jengratzbio.html 'Course they still openly discriminate against accepting Michigan residents for those fatcat out-of-staters.
