(c) A general academic teaching institution with a total
student enrollment of more than 40,000 in a fall semester shall
reserve for admissions under Subsection (a) for the next academic
year following that fall semester a percentage of the institution's
enrollment capacity designated for first-time undergraduate
students that will ensure that the number of first-time
undergraduate students attending the institution in that academic
year who are members of a racial or ethnic group that is
