Shocker. The WSJ writes:

“The Obama administration has asked a federal appeals court to uphold a race-conscious admissions system at the University of Texas at Austin, aiming to stymie a lawsuit that conservatives hope will spur the Supreme Court to limit affirmative action at public colleges.”

On the plus side, at least you can’t blame the Obama Administration for being hypocritical in this aspect. We wouldn’t want minorities to earn admission based on any actual merit; that wouldn’t have worked out well for the White House. Honorable!
