Brief of New York City Council Speaker A. Gifford Miller, et al. in Support of Respondents in Grutter v. Bollinger, et al.

Legal Brief - February 19, 2003 -

• Diversity is a compelling state interest justifying race-conscious university admissions policies.
  
• Narrowing the gap between social conditions of underrepresented minorities and Caucasians constitutes an alternative compelling government interest.
  
• The law school and undergraduate admissions policies are narrowly tailored to achieve the compelling interests of either diversity or equalization of social conditions.
