Ca Proposition 209

From the Paper:

"In 1996, California voters struck a decisive blow against affirmative action. In passing the California Civil Rights Initiative (Proposition 209), the voters expressed their opposition to what they perceived as discrimination on the basis of race or gender. Proposition 209's chief backer, California Governor Pete Wilson, has moved ahead with implementing the initiative despite legal challenges and possible conflicts with federal law.

Proposition 209 abolished minority and women preferences in contracts, state employment, and education. Prior to the passage of the proposition, state government had a diverse system of minority and gender set asides, quotas, and preferences in its recruitment and hiring practices. Sometimes a minority or woman who had fewer technical qualifications was admitted to college.."
