That also increases diversity without resorting to racial quotas and preferences.

It is clever how the UC and UT systems have managed to take advantage of the utter failure of those states to effectively desegregate primary and secondary schools to create effective stealth affirmative action programs.
ETA: And if you don't think those programs are being labeled affirmative action, or quotas, or preferences, you aren't listening to parents whose kids finished in the top 25%, but not the top 10% at [insert public high school serving some wealthy suburban enclave here].
