Abstract

This essay intends to examine whether affirmative action in the Gratz v. Bollinger case (2003) can be justified as ethical under Jeremy Bentham’s utilitarian perspective. This essay offers an exhaustive case review of this lawsuit and evaluates the economic and educational effects of the University of Michigan’s practice of affirmative action in a relevant five-year period from 1995 to 2000. Related literature and empirical data are offered along with a discussion on the Supreme court’s decision on this lawsuit.
