State rejects revisions to top 10 percent rule
State rejects revisions to top 10 percent rule - The Daily Texan - Top Stories: "Efforts to cap the Texas top 10 percent rule or completely repeal it were rejected Friday in the state Senate; however, it may become tougher for students to be automatically accepted to public universities.
The Senate approved a bill by state Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, which would require students in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class to take advanced high school curriculum before they could gain automatic acceptance, under the law, to any Texas public university.
'It provides that all students who are going to enjoy the benefits of the top 10 percent [rule] must at least take the recommended high school classes,' said West, chair of the Senate higher education subcommittee."
This seems like a reasonable compromise to me.
