Regents of the University of California vs. Bakke
This was really a substantial decision made by the supreme court. Essentially when making a decision on a prospective student it allowed race to be a significant factor in the decision process. Basically even though the court had issues a peace to the end of segregation and further more encourages institutions to engage in integration of the students. Many campuses were still prominently white. The Supreme court wanted the admission processors to see whether the student was a minority or not and in hand that would help more hardworking underprivileged students into the prestigious universities.

I like how you pointed about whats was really happening in the University of California vs. Bakke event. In your post, you added that Bakke, a minority, did not earn his admission to the college because he was a minority, and that alone contributes a lot to segregation history in America. You could however add more detail about the event like, what was the outcome of this? or what people did it affect?
ReplyDeleteI feel like you should have talked about how Bakke was mad that positions were being given to students who were supposively not as educated as he was and how he felt that it was unfair to have reverse discrimination
