Texas public universities started a program to admit all high school students that ended up in the top 10% of their class. This covers white kids from the wealthy suburbs of Dallas as well as latino kids from the valley and black kids from inner Houston.

The educational system of Texas is in no way a good example of fixing privilege issues. It assumes that all students come to school on equal footing. The 10% that get automatically accepted to a state uni are going to be biased on class. Also, the idea that they can be admitted doesn't mean that they can attend uni.
It's not a simple as what you describe.
