Big XII Universities and Race-based Admissions

Here is what I found!

1)University of Kansas- ethnic background doesn't affect your admission-- it is optional
2) University of Colorado-ethic background optional
3) University of Missouri- gender/ethnicity/multiracial is optional
4)University of Texas (Austin)- ethnic background was completely optional, this goes for every other Texas university too
5)Kansas State University- ethnic background information was required
6)Oklahoma State University- it allowed for gender, ethnicity and tribal affiliation to be optional

I think it is smart for the university to make ethnicity and gender optional for the student and makes more people willing to apply.
