1. Title and Citation Vance v. Ball State Univ. 570 U.S. ___ (2013)

The California Supreme Court ruled in agreement with Bakke that the quota system was unconstitutional, through interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause: “no applicant may be rejected because of his race, in favor of another who is less qualified, as measured by standards applied without regard to race” (US Const.). UC Davis later appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, who officially published their decision in 1978: 5-4. The Supreme Court ruled that UC Davis discontinue its racial quota program, but also approved of affirmative action in some cases “in education that use race as a plus factor” (Janda et al., 480). The Supreme Court published 6 opinions with Justice Powell’s being the controlling opinion. The two main points of Justice Powell’s opinion were that although achieving a diverse student body is a valid reason to justify use of race in admissions decisions, the special admission program at UC Davis was unnecessary to achieve that goal and that Allen Bakke must be admitted to the UC Davis Medical School because the university could not prove he would have been denied admission without existence of the special admissions program (Cornell

It was said that a Mexican American hadn’t served on a jury in the county of Jackson in 25 years. With the help of a Mexican American lawyer, Gustavo Garcia, the case was brought to the highest court level and was beheld as a Violation of the constitution.

Behnken describes that the African-American equality movement was “primarily focused on winning legal battles to eradicate some of the most offensive aspects of Jim Crow segregation.” The African-American movement wanted to totally annihilate Jim Crow and all segregation in the United States. The movement was spear-headed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which led African-Americans into a series of strategic legal battles to eliminate segregation in schools, starting with higher education, because black schools were separate, but very unequal. Behnken describes the case that was taken by the NAACP to the Supreme Court, Sweatt v. Painter, in order to show how the African-Americans were able to use the already present segregation in local schools to influence change in legislation at the national

The Court declined his argument. The Court determined that the segregated schools were considerably equal enough under the Plessy doctrine. It wasn 't until the mid twentieth century when Brown v Board of Education came into play that Plessy’s argument was given the okay by the constitution. The Court tried to use Plessy v.

Before this case, people of the black community couldn 't go to college and they would settle for inferior. They weren 't even allowed to be interviewed for college as they were viewed as inferior as the titles they carried.

He filed a suit after his shocking revelation and the Supreme Court ordered the college to let him in, after which the college appealed to the court. The court accepted and the verdict came to this:"

And no Black student had ever been admitted to the University of Georgia in its 176-year history… Hamilton Holmes and I were making one of the first major tests of the court's ruling in Georgia, and no one was sure just how hard it would be to challenge nearly two hundred years of excessive white privilege.
