ETHICAL ISSUES:
The ethical issue in the case of Grutter v. Bollinger is the Law school of Michigan
university use of race preferences justified. The university believes there decision was
within the Equal protection clause or the civil rights Act of 1964. Further their decision
was defensible by a compelling state interest in student body diversity.
ALTERNATIVES/ RECOMMENDATION:
Due to the fact that University of Michigan Law School applicant eligibility policy doesn’t
discriminated by race, I believe there is no alternative to the university decision. The
process of narrow tailoring uses race as one of many factor. Therefore, there are no
alterative to this case and I don’t have any recommendations. The school goal was to have
a diverse program to condition their students for real world scenarios in the business
world. Considering that lawyers have an extremely diverse clientele. The university
shouldn’t be required to change their entry process.
