The University of Texas has afirmative action policies. Searching online lead me to the office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action at a UT health science center (the San Antonio location).
The Unversity of Oklahoma's health science center has an office of affirmative action as well. A summary of the affirmative action laws implemented by OUHSC can be found online.
The University of Kansas also has an office of affirmative action/equal opportunity. A page on the University of Kansas website gives links to different aspects of equal opportunity including a provost's statement on diversity and an online posting of KU's nondiscrimination policy.
Texas Tech's AA/EEO office also provides easy access to Tech's Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and Affirmative Action Plan. Access to the online version of this plan is through Tech's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity.
Both Nebraska and Colorado presently have affirmative actions but according to an article in the "Daily Nebraskan" that I found online, these two schools and others are considering revising these policies due to "allegatios of fraud."
According to a CNN article as many as five states (Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma) in 2008 were sending their voters to the polls "...to decide whether they want to do away with affirmative action in government-funded projects and public schools." A "New York Times" article talks about the results of these polls.

Places of business can have an office that is dedicated to improving diversity on campus, but what about admissions. They are two different things.
