Brief for Indiana University as Amicus Curiae Supporting Respondents in Grutter v. Bollinger, et al.

Legal Brief - February 19, 2003 -


  • The interest of government-funded schools in the diversity of their student body is constitutionally furthered by the competitive consideration of race and ethnicity in admissions decisions.
  • IU School of Law requires the discretion permitted by Bakke to meet its academic mission.
  • Courts should not substitute their judgment in the place of lawful decisions by faculty admissions committees.
  • The diversity furthered by IU School of Law's admissions policy confers significant benefits upon its students, the bar, and the state.
