Lawsuit filed in federal court alleging that the University of Texas at Austin unlawfully uses race in admissions decisions to fill the remainder of its incoming freshman classes after applying Texas's "top ten percent" law

ADVERTISEMENTS
Lawsuit filed in federal court alleging that the University of Texas at Austin unlawfully uses race in admissions decisions to fill the remainder of its incoming freshman classes after applying Texas's "top ten percent" law: I have posted online at this link a copy of the complaint filed today initiating suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The plaintiff is a Caucasian woman who, at the time of her application to UT Austin, ranked in the top twelve percent of her high school class.

Please note: I have corrected the title of this post to more accurately reflect the claim being asserted in the lawsuit.

Update: "The lowdown on higher education" blog of The Austin American-Statesman has a post titled "UT sued for considering race in admissions."
