General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Board of Regents v. New Left Education Proj., 404 U.S. 541 (1972)
Board of Regents of University of Texas System v. New Left Education Project No. 70-55 Argued December 6, 1971 Decided January 24, 1972 404 U.S. 541
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Syllabus
Three-judge district court was improperly convened under 28 U.S.C. § 2281 to consider constitutionality of appellant’s rules for campus distribution of certain kinds of literature and for dues solicitation from members of political organizations since challenged rules do not have state-wide applicability or effectuate state-wide policy, but affect only the few of the State’s higher education institutions that are under appellant’s jurisdiction; and the appeal from that court’s judgment should therefore have been taken to the Court of Appeals, and not this Court. Pp. 542-545.
326 F.Supp. 158, vacated and remanded.
WHITE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and BRENNAN, STEWART, MARSHALL, and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined. DOUGLAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 545. POWELL and REHNQUIST, JJ., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.
