Background: The Supreme Court case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978) was significant because it addressed affirmative action in college admissions and set an enduring precedent. The Court struck down the University of California, Davis Medical School’s use of racial quotas, ruling that reserving a fixed number of seats for minority applicants violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. However, the Court also held that race could be considered as one factor among many in admissions to promote diversity, thus upholding affirmative action in principle. In short, the decision rejected rigid racial quotas but allowed race-conscious admissions policies, shaping the national debate over affirmative action for decades.
