	Amend Floor Amendment No. 1 (floor substitute) by 
Representative Branch to CSSB 175 by adding the following 
appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering 
subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  The purpose of the reforms provided for in 
this Act is to continue and facilitate progress in general academic 
teaching institutions in this state with regard to the racial, 
ethnic, demographic, geographic, and rural/urban diversity of the 
student bodies of those institutions in undergraduate, graduate, 
and professional education, including the participation goals 
identified in the Closing the Gaps initiative, the state's master 
plan for higher education.  Nothing in this Act prevents a general 
academic teaching institution in this state from engaging in 
appropriate individualized holistic review, consistent with that 
purpose, for the admission of students who are not entitled to 
automatic admission under Section 51.803, Education Code, as 
amended by this Act.
