Look out Michigan! "Uncle Tom" Ward Connerly is on the way
to rescue you from affirmative action. He's thrown n the towel with the University of Cal. board of regents and says he is heading in your direction. When questioned last year he refused to identify the donors who paid him over $700,000 for his handy work.

"He's been a cog in the wheel of a national movement to resegregate higher education and ... I'm glad to see him go," said Tammeil Gilkerson of the Greenlining Institute in Berkeley, an advocacy group for minorities and the poor.
