Why would I disagree with that? That does not discriminate racially. It doesn't recognize race at all. If you're green you can strive to be in that X%. That precisely the way admissions should work.

I think it was that the top X% of a high school were treated as equal rankings, Texas adopted the rule that the top X% graduates of high school are granted admission to the state college. They are trying to drop that because now a majority of students are entering under that program and they don't have any slots left for their perfect SAT candidates and legacy children. chron.com <font color=green>The top 10 percent law has become an issue at the University of Texas at Austin, where more than 70 percent of Texans admitted as freshmen this fall were guaranteed admission under that law. In the regular legislative session this year, UT officials pressed for a cap on the percentage admitted, but that effort failed. </font> tamu.edu browndailyherald.com
