Answer 1

The cases of Gratz v. Bollinger, Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, and Grutter v. Bollinger deal with affirmative action in college admissions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cases of Gratz v. Bollinger (2003), Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), and Grutter v. Bollinger (2003) all deal with the issue of affirmative action in college admissions.

In the case of Gratz v. Bollinger, the Court ruled that colleges could consider race as a factor in admissions decisions, but Michigan's point system was deemed discriminatory. In Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the Court prohibited the use of quotas for minority candidates but allowed the continuation of affirmative action plans. In Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court upheld the use of race as a factor in college admissions, as long as it was not done using a precise mathematical formula or quota.
