MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2003 If the Supreme Court limits the use of race in college admission, tribal advocates say it will have an impact on Indian Country. A ruling against affirmative action could prevent Native Americans from become doctors or lawyers. Advocates also say tribes would have trouble luring qualified professions to work on reservations. A ruling on the University of Michigan's affirmative action policies is expected this month. Three white students say they were unfairly denied admission to the school based only on their race.
