Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978) was an important decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. The case allowed the race to be one of the several important factors in college admission policy.

Allan P. Bakke, an engineer and former United States Marine Corps officer, sought admission to medical school, but was rejected for admission because of his age. Bakke was in his early 30s while applying and after twice being rejected by the University of California, Davis, he brought suit in state court. The California Supreme Court ordered Bakke admitted.

Supreme Court ruled specific racial quotas for minority students. Racial quota is a numerical requirement for the racial groups in education and employment while graduating, hiring or promoting.
