Question 2

If the program referred to in Adarand Constructors, Inc v. Pena reserved a percentage of highway work for disadvantaged subcontractors and, instead of using race-based presumptions to identify who were disadvantaged subcontractors, used an economic standard to identify the disadvantaged subcontractors eligible for the program, would the Court's decision have been the same?

Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

The Adarand Court determined that all racial classifications imposed by federal, state, or local governmental actors, must be reviewed under a strict scrutiny standard. Under an economic standard utilized to identify disadvantaged subcontractors, race would not be a factor and the strict scrutiny standard would not apply. Such a program may well survive scrutiny by the courts.
