Proposition 209:
Affirmative Action and Diversity Project from University of California, Santa Barbara offers a comprehensive website with information on the aftermath of the vote, with input from students, faculty, and administration, as well as articles on the National and Theoretical implications of this initiative. This website also offers extended links on matters of gender and ethnicity. Well worth a visit.
Impact of Proposition 209 on Women in Education
The California Votes NO! on 209 website was dedicated to defeating the November ballot initiative, Proposition 209. It is now dedicated to reversing Proposition 209. Over 400 diverse, community-based organizations are also dedicated to these efforts. The so-called California Civil Right's Initiative, which is neither civil nor right, is really a deceptive attempt to constitutionalize gender discrimination and slam shut the doors of opportunity that both women and people of color have fought so hard to open. We invite you to learn the real facts and join people who have launched a campaign against this attempt to both divide our communities and jeopardize the futures of young women and people of color.
Proposition 209: The Controversy Did Not End -- or Begin -- Here - article from the ACLU -- The long political controversy over Proposition 209, the so-called California Civil Rights Initiative, did not end with the November election -- nor could it. The consequences of its implementation would be too devastating to the communities it targets, and too confusing to those meant to do the dirty work of carrying it out.
