Since the passing of Proposition 209 - a ballot initiative that amended the California Constitution to prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, sex or ethnicity - the number of Black students admitted and enrolled to UC Berkeley has dropped despite an increase in applications , according to a UC Office of the President fact sheet.
According to the fact sheet, Black students made up 6.7% percent of all enrolled California resident freshmen in 1995 , but this figure dropped to 3.7% in 1998, just two years after Prop 209 had taken effect. In contrast, 29.5 % of California resident freshmen consisted of white students in 1995, and this figure dropped to 28.2% percent in 1998.
New Jersey v. T. L. O. was a decision taken by the Supreme Court of the United States about a search in a public high school that was made after a student was caught smoking, and in the search, it was discovered that she had drugs and there were also proves that she selling them. The student claimed that this was against the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches. However, the Supreme Court decided that the search was not in violation of the Fourth Amendment because it was reasonable for the school officials to assume that she had cigarettes in her purse after she was found smoking, and in that search, drugs were discovered. So, this was a decision related to student's due process rights.
