Tyler,
Let’s use your description of the difference. A quota uses a hard number. A “well-represented” population does not use a hard number but rather is proportional to the general population. Proportional to what? A hard number. That this number may fluctuate annually does not change that for a given time point, it is fixed.

Though, the thing i dislike is when people who oppose AA, i can see what grounds they would oppose it on (equal vs. fair), fail to provide an alternative solution to the problem and also disagree that that alternative should be set up before AA is taken away (socioeconomic AA is not a solution, do some research).

You mentioned California as an example of the good that happens when racial preferences are abolished. Educational institutions are forced to actually do work to solve problems as opposed to magically engineering classes that “closely match” the general population.
