Final answer:
Mia can seek redress if she has faced racial discrimination by a school, violating the Fourteenth Amendment and relevant federal laws. She may file a claim in a federal court due to diversity of citizenship, provided the claim is substantial enough, or in a state court division for specific claims against state entities.
Step-by-step explanation:
On what grounds can Mia seek redress? Mia can seek redress on the grounds that the school has discriminated against her on the basis of race in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and 42 U.S.C. § 1981. If the damage claim is at least $75,000, she can bring the suit in federal court because her case involves diversity of citizenship since she is from a different state than the university or if the university is considered a citizen of another nation.
The courts can hear cases involving interstate matters and diversity of citizenship, where the parties are from two different states or a U.S. citizen and a foreign citizen. Mia's situation also resembles that of Ms. Grutter, who applied to the University of Michigan Law School and was denied admission allegedly due to racially discriminatory admissions policies. Like Ms. Grutter, Mia may claim that the school has no compelling interest to justify the use of race that adversely affects her chances of admission.
Furthermore, it's important to note that certain claims against state entities, such as tax lawsuits or malpractice in state medical facilities, are typically handled by a Court of Appeals' specific division, like the Claims part that deals with civil actions filed against the State of Michigan. If Mia's claim includes such aspects, she may need to seek redress in the appropriate state court division.
