<p>I agree. I still say that the only fair way to settle this argument for everyone would be to abolish the law completely. It would give the kids who are more qualified by their numbers the spots needed, it would still give a chance to the minority students because a college like UT still needs that ethnic diversity that makes it so great, it would shut up the suburban whites complaining about their kids not being given a fair chance (their kids might not get in, but they’d have the same chance at rejection as “the dumb, ghetto child”), and it might give out of staters a better chance at admittance.</p>
<p>I still stand with the belief that a school should take OOS and International applicants as a sign of prestige, not as a disrespect to taxpayers in texas. when it truly comes down to it, the school would ultimately make more money with the additional OOS or International tuition than the additional taxes that texas residents pay. (OOSers and Internationals have to pay taxes in their respective homes too). Again, just my 2 cents</p>
