Illustrator CS6 set defaults to inches

In Illustrator you can set inches for the units by doing the following:

Go under "Illustrator Menu"

Select "Units " under "Preferences" menu item

Set "Stroke" to inches

Set "Type" to inches

How can I make a startup script so those values are set to inches for "Stroke" and "Type"??   So when a student makes a new document its already set to inches.

For Indesign I did the following with Applescript:

tellapplication "Adobe InDesign CS6"

          tellview preferences

                    setruler origintopage origin

                    sethorizontal measurement unitstoinches

                    setvertical measurement unitstoinches

          endtell

endtell

Can't get it scripted for Illustrator to default to inches.  Anyone have any idea on how I would go about scripting this?

tellapplication "Adobe Illustrator"

     tell startup presets

          setruler unitstoinches

     end tell

endtell

Or something along those lines........
