Texas Senator Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, wrote a bill revising the rule that grants automatic admission to UT college applicants in the top 10 percent of their class. Under the new bill, automatic admissions at UT are limited to only 75 percent of an incoming freshman class. The bill recently passed the State Senate with a 27-4 vote after passing in the House with a 121-24 vote. The bill is now awaiting Governor Rick Perry’s signature.
