New plan under discussion: guaranteed admission at TN campuses (for instate students)

Separately…and generally, I don’t love auto admit because of the behaviors it can create at the HS level. Behaviors like a high level of competitiveness among students (rather than incenting collaboration), grade grubbing, overloading on dual enrollment classes to juice GPAs, etc…all things that are currently present in many Texas high schools, especially the more well resourced ones.

Is this due to auto-admit per se, or because Texas uses class rank, which is the admission credential that is most competitive?
