Texas Tech University agrees to discontinue using race during admissions.
In question was whether the school’s admission practice violated part of the Civil Rights Act. According to the resolution agreement, if the university wishes to re-institute a policy that involves the use of race in admissions, it must provide “a reasoned, principled explanation for its decision,” and identify “concrete and precise goals” to the Office for Civil Rights 60 days prior to doing so.
McDonough said he worries about the chilling effect it may have on universities' abilities to diversify their classes. An individual resolution with an institution doesn't set the stage for consequential action elsewhere, he said.
