This November, voters across California will have the opportunity to decide whether or not to restore affirmative action through California Assembly Constitutional Amendment 5, otherwise known as Proposition 16. A majority vote by Californians on Proposition 16 would reverse Proposition 209. If Proposition 16 passes, it would be up to the University of California (UC) and Cal State University (CSU) to create their own policies around affirmative action. Lee, who has been with SF State for 11 years, said that Proposition 16 is a step in the right direction for the state to make and clarified that the amendment is not about taking opportunities away from prospective white or Asian students. Lee contends it is “about correcting a historical legacy” and “undoing institutional and systemic racism.” •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 📝 Article by Chris Ramirez, Copy Editor •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🔗 Link to full article: goldengatexp...
