Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Describe how Regents v. Bakke struck down the use of numerical quotas in affirmative action programs, but was not clear about what sorts of programs would be acceptable.
2. Describe how the two University of Michigan cases supported the idea that affirmative action programs can be permissible to achieve racial diversity, which serves a legitimate educational purpose. However, race can be used as only one of many factors, and the university cannot assign specific points based on race.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Describe how the 1964 Civil Rights Act not only requires equal access in public accommodations but also bars discrimination in employment under Title VII of the act, making it illegal for most employers and trade unions to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, or sex.
2. Discuss how the 1967 Age Discrimination Act provides statutory protection against discrimination in employment based on age, even though the Supreme Court has not been willing to review such cases with either the strict scrutiny or the heightened scrutiny standard.
3. Detail that the 1990 ADA not only provides protection against discrimination to Americans with disabilities but also mandates that all public buildings and transportation be accessible to those with disabilities.
