A proposal to amend the state constitution to ban affirmative action programs that give preferential treatment to groups of individuals based on their race, gender, color, ethnicity or national origin for public employment, education, or contracting purposes

The proposed constitutional amendment would:
-Ban public institutions from using affirmative action programs that give preferential treatment to groups or individuals based on their race, gender, color, ethnicity or national origin for public employment, education or contracting purposes. Public institutions affected by the proposal include state government, local governments, public colleges and universities, community colleges and school districts.

-Prohibit public institutions from discriminating against groups or individuals due to their gender, ethnicity, race, color or national origin. (A separate provision of the state constitution already prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin.)
