As a nationwide coalition to analyze the California Proposition 209, impact209 is seeking alliances to follow research leading to a ballot initiative advocacy that will reinstate affirmative action, and reverse proposition 209in California. Sector-based analysis should investigate the proposition 209 efficacy in eliminating, investigating, and discriminating the connections between the social, economic and equal opportunities in California prosperity.

Introduction

In 1996, an approximate 54.6 percent of the California voters passed the proposition 209, forbidding programs of affirmative action in shriveling public and employment education. In addition, the diverse California voter’s population rejected the initial proposal but the voting population has become different.

The proposition became effective without significant research on the economic and potential social effects on California.Much of the public dialogue over proposition209 has been compelled by rhetoric separation from social science based research. In addition, the California state has notevaluated the dramatic policy changes effects.

The general conclusion reached mainly based on current research is that proposition209 in contrasting,higher education and employment has been largely negative effects.

partnership of scholars, civil rights advocates, academics and 54 academics who were against the proposition started their meetings to set up ballot proposals to inverse the passed proposition 209.

Current Research

On the impact of proposition 209, the richest research has been conducted in the context of public education. The currentstudies show that in spite vigorous efforts to are demonstrated by additional research.

Similarly, educational researchers on balance have found that neutral-race means for achieving diversity in higher education, such as percentage plans, are insufficient substitutes for affirmative action. In summary the results of the analysis show that, affirmative action has negative impacts on the profession of legal diversity.

The proposition209 in public contracts has been identified to limit research. A Chinese for Affirmative Action study in 1998 surveyed 68-government agencies across California to find out how they reacted to proposition 209 and summarized that profits made by women and minorities had begun seriously to erode.

A 2003 follow-up study analyzing the proposition 209 effects and successive court decisions on the ability of minority and women business enterprises to contest for the public contracts.TheChinese for Affirmative Action robust studies concluded that women and minorities opportunities were severely limited, ending up in declines in total contract dollar awarded to women and minority business enterprises. Another research done by the Discrimination Research Center, and Equal Rights Advocates

While on the assessment of the economic costs of ending affirmative action in California little research has been done, a large body of research analyses the economic effects of affirmative action programs both in California and nationally.

Research Gaps

Review on the traditional inconsistencies in California should be done to check whether proposition209 has can be based on pre and post-209 propositions to recognize the most effective laws.

Analysis of the affirmative action ending and its economic impact might include efficiency,financial and performance evaluations of public education, employment, and contracting prior to proposition 209-implementation and ten years after 209. Review of the studies is to identify if there is any civil harmony or public confidence benefits to social incorporation could help extend the procedure appeal of affirmative action restoration.

Given that a higher percentage of people don’t feel any effects of the affirmative action as shown by the national polls, to create empathy and increase understanding, qualitative research should be done to record location and individual- specific effects of eliminating affirmative action. After evaluating the different effects and advantages analysis, contrast can be drawn between traditional affirmative action programs and proposition 209 that will enlighten the policy advocates.

Target Research Areas include:

Existing research comprehensive literature review including oppositions research further investigations into individuals, economic and social data that the opposition uses or could use to support the status quo.

Chilling effects on mandatory and private voluntary employment action programs; evaluation of promotion, hiring, advancement in public employment; evaluate the importance and role of cross-cultural competency, further research on wage discrepancies,legal, medical & health fields.

Procurement and contracting

Comparative rates ofCA v. national,MBE/WOB utilization or comparable status, post- 209 comparative disparity studies analyze

Collection in prime contractors and unions; the number of contractors going to out-of state companies; effect on employment development in construction trades; use public contracting context to analyze the economic and financial efficacy losses for California in decreased entrepreneurship. As a result, of lending practices that are desperate.

Social impact

Analysis of proposition 209 effects lingers on evaluation areas of outstanding contracts, employment, and education such as a criminal justice systems.

Legal Empirical evidence search for reverse discrimination

Even if the discrimination case against women and minorities does not turnout as compelling, the lack of evidence of reverse discriminations undermines the affirmative action argument that generates unfair women and minorities treatment. It may be more plausible to conclude that policies of affirmative action have produced a more level ground (Holzer&Neumark, 2005)

Qualitative research on location and individual-specific effects of eliminating affirmative action.
