Terms in this set (4)

1. Why was affirmative action started? Explain.

The affirmative action was started because the school wanted to correct the constant, unfair minority exclusions from the medical profession.

2. What did the Court say about the Constitutionality of affirmative action programs?

The court said it was unconstitutional but race could still be used as a factor of admissions. If 2 people (both with the same level of education) who were separate races (ex: one African American, and the other white) the school had the right to choose because of the race but it could not be the only reason.

3. What rights did the Court grant university admissions programs?

The court granted the university the right to still consider race into their admissions decisions. "He noted that Bakke—not the Texas case—was the law of the land, and schools still had the right to consider race in admissions decisions." (page 1025)

4. Do you agree with the court's decision? Why or why not?(Opinion)

I do not agree with the court because race really should not be a factor in why or why not a student gets accepted to a school or not. This could affect the student's future success and the success of one kid or student could help boost the nation's economy.
