The first time the Supreme Court weighed in on the use of race conscious admissions policies was in something called Bocke. The case involved a white man who twice applied for admission to the University of California at Davis's medical school, and he was rejected both times. Back then, the medical school reserved 16 of its 100 spots in each year's entering class for qualified minority applicants. And this was part of the University's affirmative action program and strategy.
