520 $a This manuscript presents a case study of the contest over affirmative action policy at the University of California from 1994–1996, to address the question: what are the institutional, social, and political dynamics of contemporary public higher education policy making?
520 $a This study utilizes a theoretical framework based in contested State theory, positive theories of institutions, and elements of interest-articulation and institutional-cultural analytical frames. It presents the political, legal, social and institutional context and dynamics of the UC affirmative action contest through the collection and analysis of a broad range of data. These included data from semi-structured interviews with key participants, historical and contemporary institutional documents, legal briefs, personal correspondences of policymakers, and transcripts of legislative hearings.
520 $a The analysis focuses on the effect of the University's institutional heritage, the creation and composition of the University governing board, internal institutional policy making dynamics, and the role of state political parties, the governor, the legislature, and a variety of interest groups, in shaping the policy contest. Attention is also turned to the tension engendered by the University's multiple missions, and shifts in demand for access to the University's most selective campuses. The historical role of affirmative action as a tool for redressing inequality is considered in light of contemporary political and legal challenges to its use in higher education admissions, hiring and contracting.
520 $a The findings from this study suggest that prevailing understandings of public higher education policy making can be improved through conceptualizing the university as both actor and instrument in a broader arena of conflict for control of political institutions and State functions. From this perspective university policy making is seen not as an endogenous process of interest articulation controlled by university administrative leadership, but as a process of conflict and resistance in which a complex network of internal and external interests vie for control of institutional decision making structures and processes.
