- Bakke Brings Regents of the U. of California
- Allan Bakke claimed that the special admissions program violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it excluded him on the basis of race. He wanted the court to force UC Davis to admit him to the medical school. The university argued that their system of admission served several important purposes. It helped counter the effects of discrimination in society. The special admissions program could help reverse the history of discrimination faced by racial minorities in medical school admissions and in the medical profession.
- Lasting Impact
- Chief Justice: Warren E. Burger Associate Justices: William J. Brennan Jr. · Potter Stewart Byron White · Thurgood Marshall Harry Blackmun · Lewis F. Powell Jr. William Rehnquist · John P. Stevens
- Court rules in Bakkes favor: The Court ruled that the Regents of the U. of California racial quota broke the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Also the Court thus ruled that Bakke must be admitted to medical school at UC Davis. The Racial Quota that the Regents of the U. of California had was deemed unconstitutional.
- The decision in Bakke did not end the debate over affirmative action in higher education or stop legal challenges, which continue to this day.
