Result: 5-4 Bakke won
Constitutional Issue: 14th amendment
Right or Liberty: Right
Significance: University of California was forced to accept Bakke; special admission program was unconstitutional for using race as a determining factor for admission
Quote: "The special admissions program with a fixed quota or number of places
available only to minorities violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Those places were denied to white applicants based only on their race. The
university's policy was struck down and the university was ordered to admit
Bakke."
6 word summary: No more racial factoring in admission
