The education department said in an email on Tuesday that its civil rights office reached the deal in February with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, ending a 14-year investigation into its admission practices. The school said in a letter to the department in February that it “is committed to exploring race-neutral alternatives to enhancing diversity and fully and completely evaluating its current admissions policies and practices.”
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in a series of cases that universities may use affirmative action to increase minority enrollment on their campuses. Conservatives have argued such programs can hurt whites and Asian-Americans and argue that other factors including socioeconomic status should be considered in efforts to achieve diversity.
