Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978)

UC Davis set up the special admissions for minority, but because of that, Alan Bakke could not get into Davis even though he is qualified to get into the school. And Supreme Court ruled that the University's minority admissions program violated the equal protection clause, although a properly devised program could well be constitutional.




The article said the Fourteenth Amendment do not belong to classes but to individuals. Which means, it does not belongs to minority class, but belongs to individuals like, Bakke.
