Bill > HB3492

This bill eliminates the automatic admission of students to certain public universities in Texas, meaning students will no longer be guaranteed admission based solely on meeting specific academic criteria like high school GPA or test scores; instead, universities will consider a broader range of factors, including academic achievements, socioeconomic background, first-generation status, bilingual proficiency, and other personal circumstances, when making admissions decisions, and it also repeals provisions related to automatic admission and scholarships for students who previously qualified for it, with these changes taking effect for admissions starting in the 2014-2015 academic year.
