A Critical Moral Analysis of Reverse Discrimination in Light of the Natural Law: The Allan Bakke Case
Abstract Reverse discrimination continues to remain a significant issue in America. In this paper I will present the case of Allan Bakke. First, I will give a factual account of Bakke's effort to gain admission into medical school. Second, I will examine the issue of reverse discrimination in light of the moral virtues. Third, I will discuss the relationship between the "right and the good" as related to Bakke. Fourth, I will apply the principle of subsidiarity to Bakke's case. Fifth, I will examine Bakke's reverse discrimination in regard to the two species of justice.
