The term reverse discrimination. Discussed with the Bakke case where in Mr. Bakke had the qualifications needed to get into medical school in California. However, in an attempt to make up for discrimination in education in the 1960s and earlier (Bakke took place in the late 60s), the school kept 16 of its 100 seats open for minority applicants only; the other 84 could be competed for by anyone. Bakke sued the school, and the Court ruled that he was the victim of reverse discrimination.

Re: the case of Steelworkers v. Weber. In that case, the Court didnt exactly define reverse discrimination. Rather, the Court set forth a set of factors to use to determine whether reverse discrimination had been committed, or if the employer, school, etc. was acting properly to make up for past discrimination.

Read the Courts list of factors and discuss your thoughts on the Courts opinion.
