Supreme Court orders Bakke admission but allows race in future programs
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling says Allan Bakke was illegally denied admission to UC Davis medical school for being white. It allows some affirmative action factors in future college admissions and holds fixed racial quotas illegal. Justice Powell writes that race may be a plus but not a quota, while justices differ on broader implications for race in government and private programs.
