Life After Hopwood.
Rodriguez, Roberto
Black Issues in Higher Education, v13 n12 p8-10 Aug 8 1996
The federal court decision in Hopwood versus the State of Texas, in which the court ruled that race could not be used as a factor in law school admission, is forcing universities to reexamine their reliance on standardized tests as admission criteria. Reduced use of test scores can then allow more active recruitment of top minority students. (MSE)
