Regents of the University of California v. Bakke

The Medical School of  UC Davis used an admission system to accept or decline certain people based on minority status. When a white student was denied although his test scores were above those of the minority students, he sued the University saying that their process violated the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in two separate votes and majorities in favor of Bakke.

I agree with the court's decision that a program that accepts students based on race violates the equal protection clause. The court also stated that a properly devised program could be well constitutional but I have mixed feelings on this. I think that admissions processes should leave race out of the equation entirely and only accept students based on their qualifications. This way, every student has an equal chance based on their application alone.
