The Supreme Court case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke effectively outlawed strict quotas, which required a certain number or percentage of spots to be filled by members of a particular racial group. However, the court did allow for race to be one of many factors considered in admissions decisions, allowing for race-conscious decisions and some forms of affirmative action. The case did not outlaw all preferential treatment of minorities, only those that relied solely on race or had a quota system.
