In todays moot court, my classmates argued the case of the Regents of University of California V Bakke. This case involved the admissions practices of the Medican School of the University of California at Davis. The Supreme Court ruled that the schools use of racial quotas in the acceptance of students process with unconstitutional. With the use of affirmative actions, the school made a move to accept more minority student. In the school, there were 100 totally seats entering the class. 16 of the seats were reserved for those of minority; including Blacks, Chicanos, Asians and American Indians. 

Allan Bakke applied to the medical twice, and was denied twice. He had significantly higher MCT scores, a significantly higher GPA and a significantly higher benchmark score than some of the minority applications that had recently been admitted.

Bakke decided to take his case to court and he sued the University of California. He made a case saying that the medical school violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection act. The court agreed with bakke and found that the medical schools quota system discriminated against different races and said that “no applicant may be rejected because of his race, in favor of another who is less qualified, as measured by standards applied without regard to race”
