In a college admissions case involving Affirmative Action, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Allan Bakke v. University of California (1978) that:
 
  a) a white applicant to a medical school had been wrongly denied admission in order to admit a less qualified black applicant.
  b) race could never be used as a factor in deciding between candidates applying for admission to a educational program.
  c) positions could be set aside for women and minorities who had suffered discrimination in the past.
  d) schools must represent a proper proportion of all groups in the nation.
