A lawsuit that prompted a 2003 Supreme Court decision
over affirmative action admissions policies at the
University of Michigan has been settled, concluding a
nearly decade-long battle. The university will pay
$10,000 each to the lead plaintiffs, Jennifer Gratz
and Patrick Hamacher, to cover miscellaneous costs,
both sides said. In exchange, the two agreed to drop
all claims under a nearly 40,000-member class-action
lawsuit against the university over its former
affirmative action admissions policies.
