A university decides not to allow a qualified scholar to enter its institution based on skin and gender—but this case is about a white female? The 2003 Supreme Court case Grutter v. Bollinger lays the foundation for open discussion and analyzation of the Fourteenth Amendment's right to equal protection from racial or gender discrimination. Class members view a short video and then research Justice O'Connor's opinion of the case.
