Correction: they wanted to increase that percentage without affirmative action.
The main problem with this system in my view is that it's entirely dependent on high school segregation. If the high schools reflected the mix in the towns and cities, then the top 10% rule wouldn't work. So it's a disincentive to do anything to integrate the schools; the state can just point to the fact that Jane Student at 99% black, low-achieving high school is automatically admitted to UT, and they're off the hook to actually repair the school system.
