Reply #8: I looked this up and apparently misunderstood this law.

The law WAS that out of applicants, a public university HAD to admit those that were in the top 10% of their graduating class.

The law has been changed so that public universities do not HAVE to admit all the applicants who graduated in the top 10% of their class. The universities have more leeway in who they admit.

So this will INCREASE diversity, if a university wants diversity. It is not locked into admitting the top 10%.

So, this is a good thing for diversity. But it sucks for those who may have worked harder and got better grades.

But then, I didn't know that ANYONE had been guaranteed admission. I'm surprised by that.
