Let's look at the NAACP response to President Bush's statement again. The NAACP says that the University of Michigan's admission program is not based on a quota system. They seem to be playing along with the notion that discriminatory quotas are wrong. Let's look at their website and see what they think of quotas. Here's a link to their Economic Reciprocity Initiative, and another one to their grading criteria.
Let's see now: they base their results on "performance in the areas of (1) employment, hiring and promotions, (2) procurement/vendor relations (3) advertising/marketing opportunities and expenditures, and (4) charitable/philanthropic activity." and "The criteria is based upon the percentage of the African-American population in the United States (13%)." This looks like a quota so far. Going on, looking at the table:
