Grutter

Adam Gegg: =Grutter v. Bollinger (2003)= This is the case in which the United States Supreme Court upheld the affirmative action admissions policy of the University of Michigan Law School. Grutter claimed that after she had been turned down at the Michigan Law School, that decision was based on her race. She felt she was discriminated upon the 14th amendment. She claimed that "she was rejected because the Law School uses race as a “predominant” factor, giving applicants belonging to certain minority groups a significantly greater chance of admission than students with similar credentials from disfavored racial groups" Oral and recorded audience tapings were allowed as evidence. The final holding on this case was "University of Michigan Law School admissions program that gave special consideration for being a certain racial minority did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment."
