Hopwood v. University of Texas Law School

Cheryl Hopwood and three other white law-school applicants at the
University 
of Texas challenged the school's affirmative action program, asserting
that 
they were rejected because of unfair preferences toward less qualified 
minority applicants. As a result, the 5th U.S. Court of Appeals suspended 
the university's affirmative action admissions program and ruled that the 
1978 Bakke decision was invalid-while Bakke rejected racial quotas it 
maintained that race could serve as a factor in admissions. In addition to

remedying past discrimination, Bakke maintained that the inclusion of 
minority students would create a diverse student body, and that was 
beneficial to the educational environment as a whole. Hopwood, however, 
rejected the legitimacy of diversity as a goal, asserting that
"educational 
diversity is not recognized as a compelling state interest." The Supreme 
Court allowed the ruling to stand. In 1997, the Texas Attorney General 
announced that all "Texas public universities [should] employ race-neutral

criteria."
