Suggests Legislative Ban on University Discrimination on Anniversary of Grutter and Gratz
In written testimony submitted to the Texas Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education, for its hearings on the state’s Ten Percent Plan, the Center for Equal Opportunity criticizes the Plan as racially discriminatory and bad educational policy. It adds, however, that the Plan is better than the use of overt racial and ethnic preferences, which it attacks as illegal and unfair. The testimony recommends that preferences be banned by the legislature before the University of Texas starts to use them again.
