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.

Answer to Question 2
An ideal response will:
1.

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.
