So, most of our history, the history of the United States, has been one in which most industries, professions, and sectors were designed to exclude [people] on the basis of race and gender, sometimes class as well, whereby white men—men racialized as white—were in positions of power by design; it’s a function, not a bug. Then, in the mid-1950s and ’60s, you have a shift for various reasons, including some key Supreme Court decisions, like Brown v. Board of Education, which chipped away at Jim Crow[–era laws]. As production of the old Land Rover Defender drew to a close in 2016, Jim Ratcliffe, the British billionaire and head of the Ineos chemical group, attempted to buy the tooling for the ageing off-roader with a view to continuing production. In ruling that the promotion of diversity is a compelling interest, the Supreme Court’s decisions resolve a disagreement among the lower federal courts and allow selective colleges and universities throughout the country to employ race in admissions. The decisions reject the absolute race-blind approach to higher education admissions advanced by the Grutter and Gratz plaintiffs and by the U.S. government and others as amici curiae. The Court’s decisions also effectively overrule major portions of the 1996 ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Hopwood v. Texas, and will allow colleges and universities in the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Missouri to use race-conscious admissions policies designed to advance educational diversity. State universities in California, Washington, and Florida are still prohibited under their state laws from employing race-conscious admissions policies; however, private universities in those states can, as they could before the Grutter and Gratz decisions, employ properly designed race-conscious policies. Justify Doctor’s Act: Chicago Officials Hold Autopsy Over Bollinger Baby.” Washington Post, Nov. 19, 1915.

Each year, the University of Michigan Law School receives approximately 3500 applications for 350 available seats. The Law School strived to admit a diverse student body in selecting those 350 students. To achieve that goal, the Law School admissions officials considered many factors beyond GPA and LSAT score. Specifically, the Law School considered an applicant’s personal statement, essay, letters of recommendation, and so-called “soft variables,” such as the enthusiasm of recommenders, and the quality of an applicant’s undergraduate school. e) Because the Law School’s use of race in admissions decisions is not prohibited by Equal Protection Clause, petitioner’s statutory claims based on Title VI and §1981 also fail. See Bakke, supra, at 287 (opinion of Powell, J.); General Building Contractors Assn., Inc. v. Pennsylvania, 458 U.S. 375, 389—391. Pp. 31—32. The Court reasoned that the Law School’s goal of student diversity was a compelling interest. Also, the Court found that the Law School’s individual review of each applicant (where race was only one of many factors) was narrowly tailored to achieve that compelling interest. A Scottish electric vehicle start-up is facing a new obstacle to launching its debut off-roader after an American rival filed a lawsuit claiming the 4×4’s design was stolen.

And so under Grutter, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that in the context of higher education, the pursuit of student body diversity—including racial diversity—constitutes a compelling interest [for considering race in application processes]. The plaintiffs are directly challenging that precedent, and are asking the Court to overturn Grutter. In court, former Ford design chief J Mays testified for JLR saying that certain aspects of the old Defender’s design replicated on the Grenadier such as its overhead “Alpine” windows, clamshell bonnet, off-set spare wheel and “arrow shot” rear windows were unique design features.

And then in 1964, we had the Civil Rights Act, which contained a number of provisions, including one that prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, and in some incidences even created an affirmative duty on the part of institutions that had a history of segregation to remedy the vestiges of that legacy.

Supreme Court will consider challenge to affirmative action in college admissions". NBC News. January 24, 2022.

Despite Proposition 209, however, Berkeley Law was still able to achieve a diverse student body. According to Thomas, "the Court is willfully blind to the very real experience in California and elsewhere, which raises the inference that institutions with 'reputations for excellence'...rivaling [Michigan Law's] have satisfied their sense of mission without resorting to prohibited racial discrimination." Despite the claimed similarities between the Bollinger B1 and the Munro Mk_1, legal precedent may not be on Bollinger’s side in the case. After being denied admission to the University of Texas in 2008, a white woman named Abigail Fisher sued the university over its race-conscious admissions policy in what was widely seen as an attempt to overturn the court's previous stances on affirmative action.

Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Scalia, Kennedy, and Thomas dissented. Much of the dissent concerned a disbelief in the validity of the law school's claim that the system was necessary to create a "critical mass" of minority students and provide a diverse educational environment. In the dissent, Chief Justice Rehnquist used admissions data to argue that unconstitutional discrimination occurred, despite the precedent set in McCleskey v. Kemp that dismisses statistical racial disparities as doctrinally irrelevant in equal protection claims.

Now, one thing important to know about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is that it was deeply opposed by segregationists. And it happened to survive the longest filibuster in Senate history and became, I believe, the fifth federal civil rights act ever passed by Congress. And one of the consequences of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is federal financial assistance can be pulled from institutions that continue to discriminate.

And in that case, what the Supreme Court ultimately said was that it is permissible for a university, for a public university under the 14th Amendment, to consider the race of individual applicants—as long as that was done in a holistic admissions process in which the university considered a number of factors, not just race, and so long as it was done to promote the compelling interest of student body diversity. The Supreme Court affirmed the Sixth Circuit's reversal of the District Court decision, thereby upholding the University's admissions policy. [7] Were [Chief Justice John] Roberts writing the opinion, I would expect this sort of ruling—because it appears less radical, even if it effectuates the same result. But given the disdain for precedent we saw from the right-wing justices last term, I expect that five justices will overturn the Supreme Court’s well-established precedent that race-conscious admissions processes are permissible if holistic in nature and employed to promote student body diversity.When the University of Michigan Law School denied admission to Barbara Grutter, a Michigan resident with a 3.8 GPA and 161 LSAT score, [2] she filed this suit, alleging that respondents had discriminated against her on the basis of race in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as 42 U.S.C. § 1981; 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; and that respondents had no compelling interest to justify that use of race. Lee Bollinger (then-President of the University of Michigan), was the named defendant of this case. [3]
