Top 10% Rule under review

The Texas House of Representatives will debate altering the top 10% rule that has been in place on public universities in the State since 1997. The Texas Senate already approved a similar bill.

I think it should be pointed out that the University of Texas would not be under nearly as great a strain under this law if the State actually invested in Education so that Texas could have the same number of high quality public schools as California. As the system exists now, the vast majority of top High School students have only a few reasonable in-state schools to choose from.
