Preferred term

Arthur v. Nyquist  

Definition

  • Arthur v. Nyquist (1983), a school desegregation case that arose in Buffalo, New York, is significant in the education story of African Americans because it was one of the earliest cases to be upheld on appeal in which the court ordered a systemwide plan to desegregate the public schools. Notably, this desegregation plan included aspects of suburban-urban student reassignment, staff-faculty layoffs, busing, and court monitoring to address de facto and de jure segregation.
