Ha. That article discusses Samuell High School here in Dallas, where I did some volunteer work. I noticed when I was doing it that some of the smartest kids were talking about A&M.
I have to tell you, especially after you read that article, A&M has probably done well for itself in the long run by embracing the 10% rule. It gets its diversity numbers up without having to get sidelined dealing with the affirmative action issues.
People in Texas who bitch about the 10% rule should look to the underlying problem. Making the shitty rural and minority high schools better.

I notice I got an aggy downvote (surely more will follow) for showing them that they do NOT want to limit enrollment and want to take everyone who can fog a mirror via the top 10 percent rule, all while taking a shot at the University of Texas.
Face it, aggy, the University of Texas at Austin is a much more exclusive school, academically, than Aggy-College Station.
Don't hold your breath on enrollment caps or seeking an exemption from the top 10 percent rule. Full steam ahead into that iceberg, aggy.

A&M has also been proactively recruiting in predominately minority schools as well. That all started under Gates.
The current BOR was all appointed by Gov Hair who embraced the uncontrolled growth. Many of us out there don't, but it will take time to undo what he did.
The tricky part will be controlling the growth without changing the demographic trends which have been in the right direction.
