Hopwood case sparks renewed challenge to UT law school policy
Hopwood and other white applicants challenged UT Austin law school admissions after being denied entry. The Fifth Circuit ruled the policy to boost minority enrollment discriminated against whites, leaving the 1996 Supreme Court stance intact. District Judge Sparks ordered fees and damages. Vinson & Elkins joined as private counsel. Texas keeps using race in admissions elsewhere.
