![Page 15: Unit 8: Civil Rights](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ecc550346895dcd51f9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
#11 HOT ROC- Affirmative action • Fisher v. University of Texas• Abigail Noel Fisher individually sued the University of Texas after
her college application was rejected in 2008.• She claims it was because she is white and that she was being
treated differently than some less-qualified minority students who were accepted.
Questions:1. Do universities have a right to consider race as an admission
factor? Should they?2. How important is campus diversity?3. Can diversity be achieved with a race-neutral admission policy?
![Page 16: Unit 8: Civil Rights](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ecc550346895dcd51f9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Gratz v. Bollinger (2003)• The University of Michigan used a 150-point scale to rank
applicants, with 100 points needed to guarantee admission. The University gave underrepresented ethnic groups (African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans) an automatic 20-point bonus towards their score, while a perfect SAT score was worth 12 points
Question:• If you were a Supreme Court justice, would you rule Univ
of Michigan’s policy as unconsitutional?
![Page 17: Unit 8: Civil Rights](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ecc550346895dcd51f9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Grutter v. Bollinger (2003)Decision:• University of Michigan Law School had a compelling
interest in promoting class diversity. • A race-conscious admissions process favored
"underrepresented minority groups," but that also took into account many other factors for every individual applicant.
• Not quota system
![Page 19: Unit 8: Civil Rights](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ecc550346895dcd51f9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Proposition 209• CA was the first state to ban affirmative action (1996)• Banned use of race and ethnicity in public university
admissions, as well as hiring and contracting.
