AN OPEN LETTER TO STUDENTS Dean Bradley Toben CONSIDERING APPLYING TO LAW SCHOOL Baylor University School of Law Dear Student, Dean Stephen Zamora University of Houston Law Center The quest for diversity in education has been a challenge for Texas law schools recently. In the aftermath of Hopwood, the Fifth Dean Harvey Wingo Circuit Court of Appeals case which determined that race or ethnicity Southern Methodist University School of Law could no longer be used as a factor for admissions purposes, law schools in Texas have seen a troublesome decline in applications by Dean Frank T. Read minority students—a decline we hope is temporary. South Texas College of Law As deans ofTexas law schools, we are concemed that the Dean Michael Sharlot publicity flowingfro m the Hopwood decision is misleading. Here is University ofTexas School of Law the truth: we want you to apply to our law schools, which provide welcoming and supportive environments for people of all cultures and Dean Frank Newton beliefs. Texas Tech University School of Law A minority presence in our law schools allows a variety of Dean Frank K. Walwer interpretations on legal issues. Students of color, of varying cultures Texas Weslayan University School of Law and socio-economic status, bring to the classroom perspectives drawn from their varied experiences. People of diverse backgrounds bring Dean McKen V. Carrington different interests, ideas, values, and causes that serve all members of Thurgood Marshall School of Law society. Law schools thrive on the free and constructive exchange of differing viewpoints. Admissions policies and financial aid policies will be continually reviewed and fine-tunedt o help us achieve the diversity we feel is important to legal education. Minorities are needed in Texas law schools and in the legal profession. We urge you to apply.
