College Preferential Admissions

From the Paper:

"This study will argue that the use of racial and ethnic preferences in college or professional school admissions are morally defensible. The basis for the argument will be the Bakke case and the Supreme Court decision on that case which clarified some matters on preferential treatment and left others unsettled.

The Bakke decision of the Supreme Court upheld the California Supreme Court decision which held that white student Allan Bakke had suffered illegal discrimination as a result of the specific University of California at Davis preferential treatment program which set aside a certain number of spots for "minority" group members. Bakke was admitted to Davis as a result of the Supreme Court decision, but the Court "reversed (the California) court's prohibition against taking race into account in any way" (Dworkin, 1985, p. 304)."
