#2. Initiative 424 in Nebraska to end affirmative action passed!
"Proposal 424...
• Reflects the colorblind language of the 1964 Civil Rights Act -- because equal treatment is the essence of civil rights.
• Ends discrimination against groups and individuals based on race or sex for state employment, university admissions, and public contracting.
• Bans quotas and set-aside programs giving every person a fair chance to compete for good paying jobs and college admissions.
Proposal 424 DOES NOT...
• Affect public health facilities, including breast cancer screening centers, fair housing programs, or private scholarships.
• Eliminate outreach or true equal opportunity programs."
