- Description of the Texas, California and Florida percentage plans.
- Under strict scrutiny, facial race-neutrality, even if preferred, cannot outweigh less-narrow tailoring.
- The "percentage plans" advocated by the United States and the State of Florida are not truly race-neutral, because the purpose of the percentage plans is to increase racial diversity and their results depend upon race-targeted financial aid and outreach programs.
- Percentage plans are not more narrowly tailored than plus factor programs.
