Constitutional requirements of equal protection under law


Assignment:

The Medical School of the University of California, Davis (UCD) set aside 16 class admissions for minority applicants. Allan Bakke, a white male and a top undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota and Stanford University, applied for admission to the UCD Medical School and was rejected twice. On both occasions, minority students with lower admission test scores, lower grade-point averages, and less impressive interviews were nonetheless admitted. Bakke sued the university claiming he had been rejected because of his race, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The trial court and the California Supreme Court found that UCD’s admission plan did indeed violate the constitutional requirement of equal protection under the law. The U.S. Supreme Court accepted the case. How should it rule?
