They didn't need to. It's covered by one of those all purpose auras, emanations or penumbras that black robed un-elected legislators use when they write their personal opinions into law.
Insanity.
Of course, if anyone suggested bringing in a few conservative profs to balance out the leftism among the faculty, these "holistic diversity" folks would raise holy hell.
It said the Feds can’t force it. But a school may be able to do it on their own.
The US supreme court will kill it if it gets there.

Curious as to what your thinking would be. Thanks
Back to the USSC for an epic smackdown.
I wrote a fine university out of my will when the faculty of one of its professional schools decided to reserve ALL of its financial aid for one minority racial group. I told them that I couldn’t support a racist institution. Never heard back.
The supreme court killed affirmative action in admissions in California and Michigan.
So ut can continue admitting substandard students because they are Black or Brown. Employers should take note of that policy when seeing that suspect degree listed on a resume.
If you’re hiring, a simple 8th grade math competency test will help separate the productive candidates from those who didn’t put in the effort or time to learn the basics.
The bonus is that pure numerical math is a universal subject, one that cannot be challenged by agencies or courts on the basis of language familiarity.
When it became a "compelling state interest."
I don’t think “compelling state interest” trumps the Constitution either, especially when we’re not dealing with national security
Any white person that goes to UT is a fool. What am I thinking? Of course, they’re fools. They’re liberals.
Few things thrill the American people more than “diversity”. Heck, at this rate, Wendy Davis may be coronated yet.
Thanks. I was unaware of that. There are probably enough subjective items in the
admissions review that they can backdoor students if they so desire.
Wrong, the Supreme Court ruled c. 1971 in a case called ‘’Griggs v. NC Power Company’’ that competency tests cannot be used in hiring personnel. Even federal civil service dropped them years ago. It’s all about popular “diversity” programs now. The only ones who object are those too intelligent to be hired.
As I recalled, affirmative action was first killed in TX and CA higher education “institutions” but brought back in a MI case c. 2006.
UT graduates have far superior employment prospects in many fields compared to “state college” graduates in TX and elsewhere. The top recruiters come to Austin but not to San Angelo or Huntsville, TX.
Only the very brightest and best based on merit and not race should be admitted. I will remember U of T admission policies if I see a resume that crosses my desk with that school listed under education.
2006 was the year we voted to end affirmative action. We’ve been fighting over it ever since but its finally legally dead.
