Barnett Josh Blackman • In 2003, the Supreme Court decided a pair of affirmative-action cases from the University of Michigan. The first case, Gratz v. Bollinger, challenged the university’s undergraduate affirmative-action policy. The second case, Grutter v. Bollinger, challenged the law school’s affirmative-action policy. • The university’s undergraduate admissions office employed a selection index. An applicant could score a maximum of 150 points. A score of 100 points guaranteed admission. Each applicant would receive points based on factors such as high school grade point average, standardized test scores, alumni relation- ship, and personal achievement. The university assigned a numerical value to an applicant’s race, which was the single largest factor. The Court observed, “under a ‘miscellaneous’ category, an applicant was entitled to 20 points based upon his or her membership in an underrepresented racial or ethnic minority group.” • The Court found that this policy violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
