Equal Educational Opportunity, Constitutional Uniformity and the "Defunis" Remand
Morris, Arval A.
Washington Law Review, 50, 3, 565-95, Jun 75
Analyzes competing definitions of equal educational opportunity and determines that some state courts are required to give affirmative content to the term, but the Fourteenth Amendment is interpreted only as a limitation on state action. Relates this discussion to the inconclusive history of Defunis v. Odegaard regarding racially conditioned law school admissions. (JT)
