The Bakke case, formally known as Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), is significant because it addressed affirmative action and the use of racial quotas in college admissions. The Supreme Court ruled that while race could be considered as one factor among others in admissions processes, strict quotas were unconstitutional. This decision set a precedent for how educational institutions could implement affirmative action policies and influenced subsequent legal battles regarding race and equality in education. It highlighted the ongoing debate over balancing diversity with merit in higher education.
