What was the name of the lawsuit filed against Stanford University...?
where they chose an african american for admission because they needed to fill a quota? They be sued by a student who had nearly perfect credentials, and ended up successful, because Stanford said during the trial that they chose the man only because they needed an african american. What's the name of the case? i don't want this to be a forum for the politics of affirmative behaviour. OKAY, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THIS AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A FORUM FOR THE POLITICS OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. no, i didn't mean uc v. bakke, but that is a good shield and will help with my paper. gratitude :D
