The Supreme Court held that universities may use race as part of an admissions process so long as 'fixed quotas' are not used[4]. The Court found the University of California Medical School's specific system, which used a fixed quota for minority applicants, was unconstitutional[4]. However, the ruling permitted racial preferences in admissions to achieve diversity, establishing a precedent for affirmative action in education[4].
