UC Regents v. Bakke

         
        The case was about a medical school of the university of california.Allan Bakke was a white male that applied to the medical school but was rejected.The university then admitted other applicants with lower scores. Bakke then took his case to court because he wanted the universtity to admitt him in that medical school because he thought they were violating the 14 amendment.
        The legal question was should the was be consider in any admission process?And if the special programs violated the 14 amendement ''equal protection''?
        The university argued that their system of admission had served important purposes. For example it helps with the effects of discrination in the society.In the other hand Allan Bakke argued that the special admission program violated the equal protection clause of the 14 amendment and that it excluded him on basis of race.He wanted to be accepted to the university.
        The court decided that Bakke should be addmitted to the medical school. The court said that schools can't use race as the only plus factor for admission.The school can balance between racial or other groups.UIKeyInputRightArrow
                                                      

         In my opinion, the affirmative action program does violate the 14 amendement ''equal protection'' because race should not be considered when doing admissions decision.They schould instead pick the top student and not leave one out because they have to many students of the same race.
        Gratz v. Bollinger decion was 6-3 for Gratz.For Fisher v. Texas the decion was 4-3 for texas because it did not violate the 14 amendment
