Definition(s)
- In DeFunis v. Odegaard (1974), a law school applicant challenged the University of Washington Law School's race-conscious admission policy, charging that his rejection constituted discrimination. DeFunis is important because it was the first dispute to reach the Supreme Court involving voluntary affirmative action or admission policy in a postsecondary school context.
