Légende

A pamphlet about the Bakke court case. The pamphlet consists of black print on bright yellow paper. On the front, at center, there is an image of protesters carrying signs lamenting the Supreme Court's decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke. The interior contains information about the case. The back cover also has a section to sign up to become involved with the National Committee to Overturn the Bakke Decision. The Bakke case involved the admissions practices of the Medical School of the University of California at Davis. The medical school reserved 16 out of 100 seats in its entering class for minorities, including "Blacks," "Chicanos," "Asians," and "American Indians." Allan Bakke, a white applicant, was twice denied admission to the medical school even though his MCAT scores, GPA, and benchmark scores were "significantly higher" than those of some minority applicants recently admitted. The Supreme Court ruled that a state may constitutionally consider race as a factor in its university admissions to promote educational diversity, but only if considered alongside other factors and on a case-by-case basis.
