Description

In this case, we consider a challenge to the University of Georgias freshman admissions policy, and specifically that policys preferential treatment of non-white applicants. The three Plaintiffs are white females who applied unsuccessfully for admission to the Universitys Fall 1999 class. Plaintiffs allege, and Defendants do not dispute, that the Universitys admissions policy awarded a fixed numerical bonus to non-white and male applicants that it did not give to white and female applicants. The district court found the policy unlawful and entered summary judgment in Plaintiffs favor. The court declined, however, to enter a prospective injunction forbidding the University from ever considering race or gender in the freshman admissions process. On appeal, Defendants do not challenge the district courts ruling regarding the Universitys preferential treatment of males, but do appeal the ruling regarding the Universitys preferential treatment of non-whites. According to the Defendants, the Universitys freshman admissions policy does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race because the policy is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling interest in ensuring a diverse student body. Plaintiffs cross-appeal on several matters, including the denial of prospective injunctive relief.
