There is a difference, Harvard (a private institution) enacted an affirmative action policy and was sued and won.
This is the government FORCING affirmative action and is most likely unconstitutional.
- SamReidHughes 7y agoHarvard was also not an employment case (right?). So a different law. Right now as I understand it California and federal laws conflict.
- oarsinsync 7y agoA quick google suggests the government has done this before, (Executive Orders 10479, 11246). Admittedly I've done very little reading around the subject, so I'm unsure if it's relevant in this context or not, but figure it's worth adding to the conversation in case it is. Please shoot it down if it's not!
