Question 15 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

How did Regents v. Bakke change affirmative action policies?

Answer
A
It struck down the use of strict racial quotas.
B
It ruled race could not be factored into admissions.
C
It limited diversity and inequality in the workplace.
D
It changed the way applications could be written.

Explanation

In Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), the Supreme Court ruled that strict racial quotas in college admissions were unconstitutional. However, it allowed race to be considered as one factor among many when seeking a diverse student body, so it did not ban considering race altogether. The correct choice is “It struck down the use of strict racial quotas.”
