This from a Chronicle report:

The Center for Equal Opportunity an advocacy organization opposed to racial and ethnic preferences, has issued a report accusing the University of Wisconsin at Madison of extreme bias against white students in its undergraduate and law-school admissions. The center, which waged a prolonged legal battle with the university to obtain the admissions data on which its report is based, alleged in a news release that the university practices “the most severe undergraduate admissions discrimination” it has encountered in 15 years of examining colleges’ admissions practices, with black and Hispanic applicants being hundreds of times more likely to be admitted there than are white applicants with similar class ranks and SAT scores.

 I don't think the self-image of the University ever fully recovered from this.
