Professor David Orentlicher writes about “How the University of Texas Admissions Policy Promotes Social Justice” in an article published on the website “Casetext.” The piece was published June 26.
In the article, Professor Orentlicher outlines how the University of Texas policy, which reserves 75 percent of the seats in its freshman class for students graduating at the top of their high school classes, contributes to promoting diversity in college student bodies, and greater economic equality in the nation.
A former elected official, Professor Orentlicher served in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2002 through 2008. He is the Samuel R. Rosen Professor at IU McKinney and co-director of the Hall Center for Law and Health. He also has taught at Princeton University and the University of Chicago Law School. He earned degrees in law and medicine at Harvard and specializes as well in health care law and ethics.
