Third, the Court could endorse the diversity rationale as a compelling interest, but it could establish a new set of tests to measure whether the Michigan policies are “narrowly tailored.” The Bakke “plus” factor test, which has been largely confined to higher education admissions cases, could be replaced with guidelines that have been applied in other affirmative action cases, where the Court has looked at factors such as time limits, flexibility and the burdens on non-minorities...
