Bakke

If 10 percent of the population was African-American then, 10 percent of the school's population should be African-American. This was an argument that led to Bakke v. University of California.

On behalf of Bakke Kasey argued that Bakke had a 3.5 GPA and had better scores and grades than some students and that it violated equal protection clause in the 14th Amendment because it uses race.

The University of California argued that the minories that were accepted needed it and they couldn't afford tuition. Also, African-Americans were sent to schools that weren't able to give them the right education to meet the requirements. Another argument was that affirmative action was necessary to break the segregation factors. Someone argued that African-Americans should have the same rights to education and that everyone has a chance to get in. There was no discrimination just because there were a few spots set aside for minorities.
