| AUTHOR | McPherson, Stephanie Sammartino |
| PUBLISHER | Enslow Publishing (08/01/2005) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Library Binding) |
Description
In 1973, Alan Bakke applied to medical school at the University of California at Davis. He was not admitted, and when he found out that the medical school class reserved some positions for members of minority groups, he took the university to court, charging discrimination. His case went all the way to the Supreme Court. Author Stephanie Sammartino McPherson explores the topic of affirmative action, what some people think of as unfair preferential treatment for minorities, and others see it as an effort to level the playing field. She discusses the arguments on both sides of the issue and the court cases and laws related to the topic. This book concludes with a moot court exercise in which students can participate to increase their understanding of the ideas involved.
