No it does not. I just reread the opening paragraph three times and there is no comparison being made to AA. Did you not read the paper?

From the second paragraph of the introduction:

"The ongoing debate about the use of affirmative action in college admissions has also drawn attention to the impact that other admissions preferences have on the racial composition of college students"

Observing that lots of people are concerned about affirmative action is not the same as advocacy for affirmative action. Observing and even criticizing discrimination in favor of white applicants is also not the same as advocacy for affirmative action.
