WASHINGTON – Jennifer Gratz said Monday she hopes that Abigail Fisher, a Texan whose case against a race-based university admission policy has been taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, will keep refusing to buckle against the weight of liberal backlash.
"It's almost becoming less about Abbie (Fisher) and more about trying to intimidate others like her from speaking out," Gratz, who successfully fought race-based admission in her native state of Michigan, said in an interview from Florida. If it succeeds, Fisher's lawsuit against the University of Texas at Austin could determine the future of affirmative action at public colleges.
