ABSTRACT
Over the past few years, public sentiment has turned against policies aimed at remedying discrimination in the labor market and in access to education. In 1998, the Board of Regents in California eliminated racial preferences—Affirmative Action—in admission policies, and the public, by passing Proposition 209 in California, says this is okay. The public is also no longer pushing a government role in the promotion of workplace equality as the Equal Pay Amendment, once on the forefront of the women’s movement, has quietly slipped into history.
