The Affirmative Action and the Education of American Ethnic Minorities

Since the Bakke decision, the 1978 landmark ruling that allows race to be used as “plus factor” in public and private college admissions, the conservative and other opponents of the affirmative action argue that policy based on race or ethnic statues is unconstitutional, oppose race-based preferences in college admissions. At the same time, the minority wants to continue racial preferences, as there is the huge academic achievement gap between white and minority students. It is a fact that the affirmative action violates the principle of equal opportunity in the states; the battle over affirmative action has existed since it's beginning. The Michigan affirmative action case of 2003 makes the program under dispute again.
