Editing Grutter v. Bollinger (section)

==Dispute==
{{Anchor|Case (Supreme Court)}}
When the University of Michigan Law School denied admission to Barbara Grutter, a Michigan resident with a 3.8 [[GPA]] and 161 [[Law School Admission Test#Scoring|LSAT score]],<ref>Pg. 73 The Legal & Regulatory Environment of Business</ref> she filed this suit, alleging that respondents had discriminated against her on the basis of race in violation of the [[Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution|Fourteenth Amendment]], [[Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964]], as well as 42 U.S.C. § 1981; that she was rejected because the Law School uses race as a "predominant" factor, giving applicants belonging to certain minority groups a significantly greater chance of admission than students with similar credentials from disfavored racial groups; and that respondents had no compelling interest to justify that use of race. [[Lee Bollinger]] (then-President of the [[University of Michigan]]), was the named defendant of this case.<ref>Past Presidents of the University of Michigan; {{cite web |url=https://president.umich.edu/past-presidents/ |title=Past Presidents &#124; Office of the President |access-date=2015-04-08 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150409073818/http://president.umich.edu/past-presidents/ |archive-date=2015-04-09 }}</ref>

The University argued that there was a compelling state interest to ensure a "critical mass" of students from minority groups, particularly African Americans and Hispanics, which is realized within the student body. They argued that this aims to "ensure that these minority students do not feel isolated or like spokespersons for their race; to provide adequate opportunities for the type of interaction upon which the educational benefits of diversity depend; and to challenge all students to think critically and re-examine  stereotypes."
