Brown v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• holding that “consideration of race or ethnicity by the [University of Texas] law school for the purposes of achieving a diverse student body is not a compelling interest under the Fourteenth Amendment.”
• finding that the state’s interest in diversity at a law school was not compelling and declaring that school’s admissions policy, which employed racial classifications, unconstitutional
• denying petition for writ of certiorari where the petitioners challenged only the lower courts’ analysis, rather than their judgments
• rejecting admittance procedures which purposefully admitted black and Hispanic students with lower entrance examination scores and grade point averages
