It ruled remedies may address educational programs for black students and require state share in costs. Other rulings allowed white employees to sue for racial discrimination and struck down Alabama height and weight standards for prison guards as potentially discriminatory against women. The court also denied St Louis officials a chance to avoid a desegregation plan with extensive busing.
