Abstract

This paper reviews the rationale behind the recent US Supreme Court ruling in the University of Michigan's Grutter v. Bollinger case (2003). It describes the educational benefits of diversity as documented by research and argued by the seventy-five amicus briefs filed in support of the law school's race-based admissions policies. It further discusses the implications of the Grutter decision on race-conscious decisions, on “choice” integration programs, and on increased diversity strategies in K–12 schooling based on the requirements of compelling interest and policies that are narrowly tailored.
