Court Battle Likely on Affirmative Action

Michigan Voters Approved Ban, but Opponents of the Measure Persist

In the wake of a decisive Nov. 7 vote to prohibit race- and gender-based preferences in employment, education and contracting, leaders in government and academia who fought to preserve affirmative action are now hurrying to assess the impact. Officials said the response is likely to start with a court challenge.

...Supporters of Proposal 2 are ecstatic at the showing at the polls, where 58 percent of voters backed the new law. Jennifer Gratz, who earned headlines for suing the University of Michigan over admissions policy in a case decided by the Supreme Court in 2003, returned home to lead the fight, backed by Ward Connerly, who bankrolled similar battles in California and Washington.
