Appeals court upholds University of Texas over race admissions
By The Admin on January 19, 2011
A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld the University of Texas’ use of race in admissions to ensure a more diverse student body, ruling against a pair of white students who sued after they were denied entry.
A three-judge panel of U.S. Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit, found unanimously in favor of the University of Texas, which has seen its number of black and Hispanic students rise since it began using race in evaluating applicants.
