The constitution promises the liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific laws that allow anyone have the right to an education. The petitioner seek the right of making their schools more diverse and choose the people to attend their schools, as well as making standards and policies as to who automatically gets into their schools for future students to make their schools more diverse. My analysis brings me to the conclusions universities may take act on becoming more diverse.
Abigail Fisher, a white female, applied for admission to the University of Texas but was denied. She did not qualify for Texas' Top Ten Percent Plan, which guarantees admission to the top ten percent of every in-state graduating high school class. For the remaining spots, the university considers many factors, including race. Fisher sued the University and argued that the use of race as a consideration in the admissions process violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In this case The school of texas did not violate her 14th amendment as to she was just an ordinary girl. There was nothing to bring her forth as an overachieving girl who deserved to be able to attend this school. She had nothing going for her to back her up, she had no extracurricular activities to prove she was involved in different things outside of school. As well as she only had average grades, and she was expecting to get into this school for reason of being white so more privileged.. As to she did not also qualify in the top 10 percent as to say that she was later denied and her privileges taken away, she did not have any back up plans to where to go if this school had not accepted her. The schools have the right to consider race for par of their admissions as much as they need to, to make their school more diverse as well as to make academic policies.
