A federal appeals court has agreed to reconsider its July ruling that struck down the state ban on racial preferences in public education, state Attorney General Bill Schuette announced Friday afternoon.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th District said it will reconsider the matter based on a request from Schuette for an “en banc” review, meaning the full court will consider the case and not just a three-judge panel.
Wayne State University law professor Peter Henning said the decision is significant because it means “there are enough judges troubled by the earlier panel decision that they want to look at it.

Detroit— Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette lashed out Thursday at the U.S. appeals court that overturned the state's 2006 law banning the use of race and gender preferences, calling its decision "nutty" and saying that he will file an appeal Friday morning.
In a 2-1 decision, the court ruled July 1 against the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, which prohibited using race and gender in college admissions and government hiring and contracting.
Schuette said his office will ask the entire U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals to consider a rehearing of the case. If it does, a panel of 15 judges will hear the entire case again, he said. Meanwhile, the law remains in effect. It could take until early next year to resolve the matter before the appellate court, he said.
