The main question of this case is whether Allan Bakke was denied the equal protection of the laws in contravention of the 14th Amendment, solely because of his race, as the result of a racial quota admission policy. A statement of the case which reviews pertinent data such as the admission procedure of the medical school, Bakke's interview and rating, the special admission program, the proceedings in the trial court and an appeal are given. It is concluded that the special admission program violated Bakke's right to the equal protection of the law. The medical school's quota was said to up root individual constitutional freedoms and replace them with a destructive system of group rights. Furthermore, the court makes a distinction between quotas and the concept of affirmative action. It is concluded that Bakke's personal right to equal protection was violated. The California Supreme Court correctly decided this case when it considered this action to be a case of racial discrimination. The decision does not require a return to "all white" professional schools, but rather requires a search for alternate measures that do not violate constitutional rights. (AM)
