CEO’s Successful Challenge to Racial Preferences in Admission at Texas Tech

CEO StaffEducation

In 2004, the Center for Equal Opportunity filed a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education against Texas Tech for its use of racial and ethnic preferences in admission.  This resulted in a long investigation of the school by DoEd’s Office for Civil Rights and, ultimately, an end to the use of preferences in undergraduate and medical school/health sciences admission.  The key documents related to this matter are posted here.
