University of Texas, discussed a race-neutral admissions method that was enacted by the Texas legislature: the top ten per cent of students in every high school in the state were automatically guaranteed admission to any of the state’s public colleges or universities. We have some legal clues from which to piece together what may happen next. What if schools move, as many surely will, to obey by adopting race-neutral measures-for example, deëmphasizing test scores, or boosting applicants from poorly funded high schools-that are designed to produce racial diversity, trying to create some semblance of what they achieved when using affirmative action? Would those moves be lawful? This will almost certainly be the next big question about admissions, as lawsuits will likely be filed claiming that race-neutral policies devised with diversity outcomes in mind are racially discriminatory. But institutions that have long viewed student-body diversity as essential to their missions will not change that belief simply because of the Court’s ruling, nor could the Court purport to mandate such a shift in values.
