No. 76–811Regents of the University of California, Petitionerv.Allan Bakke, Respondent
from Part II - Participation and Access
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 April 2022
Argued October 12, 1977.Decided June 28, 1978.
Mr. Justice HARRIS announced the judgment of the Court.1
This case presents a challenge by the Respondent, Allan Bakke, to the Task Force Program of the Petitioner, the Medical School of the University of California at Davis (Davis). The Task Force Program was designed to open the admissions process to students of color who throughout its history the Medical School had largely excluded. The Superior Court of California, California’s trial court, sustained Bakke’s challenge, holding that Davis’ program had violated the California Constitution, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It enjoined Davis from considering Bakke’s race or the race of any other applicant.
