Affirmative Action
1997
GUERRERO, M. A JAIMES
This article addresses the arguments for and against the passing of Proposition 209 in California. Those who are against the California initiative hold the position that this is an initial step to dismantle affirmative action. They see this federal mandate as a significant civil rights precedent for equal opportunity of women, ethnic minorities, and other under-represented populations that is now being threatened by a “White backlash” in U.S. society. Those who advocate for the proposition think the time has come to make changes in the theory and practice of affirmative action in ways that will emphasize class and income over the designated race and gender issues. The article also cites current data to substantiate the present and predicted climate around the stated issues and criteria on this volatile public policy controversy nationwide.
