Description
The Supreme Court invalidated the University of Oklahoma’s requirement that a Black student, admitted to a graduate program unavailable to him at the state’s Black school, sit in separate sections of or in spaces adjacent to the classroom, library, and cafeteria.
Significance: The Supreme Court held that these restrictions were unconstitutional because it interfered with his “ability to study, to engage in discussions, and exchange views with other students, and in general, to learn his profession.”
