A white male applicant took a test for a job at General Motors, which has an affirmative action plan that includes a Pre-Apprentice Program (PAP). Minority applicants can participate in this program, and bonus points are added to their test scores. Two minority applicants who initially scored lower than the white applicant partici- pated in the PAP, received the bonus points, and were hired. The white applicant was rejected and sued. What should the court decide? Why? (Garnet v. GM Corp., 2001 U.S. App. LEXIS 20942 (6th Cir. 2001), cert. denied, 535 U.S. 929 (2002))
