Diaz, Idris M.

Black Issues in Higher Education, v14 n22 p19-21 Dec 25 1997

Three landmark Supreme Court cases concerning affirmative action and racial discrimination within higher education institutions, and their interrelationships, are discussed: Hopwood vs. the State of Texas; Regents of the University of California vs. Bakke (1978); and Brown vs. Board of Education (1954). Treatment of the legal issues by the Center for Individual Rights, a conservative public-interest law firm, is also noted. (MSE)
