Question: What was the significance of the decision of the Supreme Court in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978)? a. Affirmative action programs taking race into account for university admissions were approved but racial quotas were prohibited. c. The practice of racial segregation was upheld so long as the facilities offered to different races were “separate but equal.” c. A state was ordered to desegregate its law school because it had not offered a “separate but equal” facility to African Americans. d. The desegregation of public schools was ordered on the grounds that racial segregation in public education is “inherently unequal.”
The correct answer is: a. Affirmative action programs taking race into account for university admissions were approved but racial quotas were prohibited. In the Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978) case, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of affirmative action, but struck down racial quotas. They ruled that while race could be one of several factors considered in college admissions, the use of strict quotas was not permissible.
