From your article:

quote:

For the remaining 8 percent of in-state spots, UT Austin used a comprehensive approach that weighed grades and test scores along with essays, leadership, activities, service to the community, and “special circumstances.” Those ranged from socioeconomic status and school quality, to family background and race. As the university’s director of admissions explained for the 5th Circuit, “[R]ace provides—like language, whether or not someone is the first in their family to attend college, and family responsibilities—important context in which to evaluate applicants, and is only one aspect of the diversity that the University seeks to attain.”


My point stands immaterially contested by your link.

Yet again,

Of the 841 students admitted under these criteria, 47 had worse AI/PAI scores (a combination of the holistic measure, grades, and test scores) than Fisher, and [b]42 of them were white. On the other end, UT rejected 168 black and Latino students with scores equal to or better than Fisher’s.[/b]


Her case that she was not chosen because of her race does not appear hold water. So said two Texas course, including their COurt of Appeals x 2
