Detailed explanation-1: -Bakke is a 1978 Supreme Court case which held that a university’s admissions criteria which used race as a definite and exclusive basis for an admission decision violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Regents of University of California v. Bakke (1978), the Supreme Court ruled that a university’s use of racial “quotas” in its admissions process was unconstitutional, but a school’s use of “affirmative action” to accept more minority applicants was constitutional in some circumstances.
Detailed explanation-3: -Justice Lewis Powell’s ruling in the 1978 case Regents v. Bakke buoyed affirmative action-but in the process, it transformed how colleges think about race and equality in admissions.
