The case • These all started out when a 35 year old white man applied for admission to the University of California Medical School at Davis. • He had a higher grade point average than any other minority candidates who were admitted. • He was denied admission twice because he was white and because of the special admissions. • Allen thought that the special admission program violated the Fourteenth Amendment.
