I'm going to find out more about this tomorrow...but I believe the person who got this law passed, was because of the low percentage of minorities in some of Texas's biggest universities. She wanted to increase that percentage and give the top 10% the opportunity to go to school whereever they wanted to. UT just happens to be the most popular campus.

I could be wrong. I also agree with the comment on Texas curriculum. I know for sure some schools further south do not compete with some of the bigger "richer" schools. I wrote more papers during my freshman english class than I did in all of high school. By papers, I mean more than a couple of typed pages. At the time, it was a shock! I'm used to it now.
