The Civil Rights Initiative (a.k.a. Proposition 209), approved by 54.6 percent of California voters in November of 1996, went into effect in 1997. Proposition 209 made it illegal for the University of California to “discriminate or grant preferential treatment to an individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin”, and thus forbids “discrimination” in the awarding of contracts, hiring, or school admissions.

520 $a The Civil Rights Initiative (a.k.a. Proposition 209), approved by 54.6 percent of California voters in November of 1996, went into effect in 1997. Proposition 209 made it illegal for the University of California to “discriminate or grant preferential treatment to an individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin”, and thus forbids “discrimination” in the awarding of contracts, hiring, or school admissions.
520 $a This paper is an effort to explore the adaptations that the University of California has made with respect to changes in affirmative action polices. Furthermore, this paper addresses how UC campuses have dealt with diversity and equity issues in the wake of the proposition. The data for this study comes from in-depth interviews with UC officials and through archival sources. Interview questions specifically addressed the concrete implementation and repercussions of the proposition. The dismantling of affirmative action has created a vacuum for the UC as they struggle to meet their goals for representing the diversity of California's population. This paper examines some of the adaptations that individuals and institutions have made within the UC system.
520 $a This dissertation shows that changes in law take place within a social and economic environment that largely shapes their interpretation and thereby their effects. The results of this study illustrate that definitions of affirmative action and the implementation of Proposition 209 by UC officials were affected by how individuals perceive the social and economic environment. That is, those who believe that social justice requires race-based affirmative action for minorities to catch up to whites were compliant and to a lesser extent defiant in their responses. These individuals viewed the government as a welfare state, a notion that is congruent with an economic model of state capitalism. Those who responded to Proposition 209 with primarily adaptive responses saw a need to move beyond race-based efforts and felt that new strategies were needed in today's society to achieve diversity. Adaptive behaviors and the move toward “diversity” (versus social justice or representative approaches to affirmative action) are congruent with the rising economic model of global capitalism. These “adaptive” individuals had an interest to move forward with diversity goals to compete in the culturally varied world market. Furthermore, the fifty six in-depth interviews indicated that UC officials largely adhered to adaptations that aimed to mitigate the repercussions of Proposition 209.
