Equal Opportunity Update
| October 2010 | |||
On Election Day, Arizona Will Vote on Equal OpportunityOn November 2, Arizona voters will vote on Proposition 107, a ballot initiative proposing to amend the state's constitution to eliminate equal opportunity programs in public higher education, employment, and contracting. If Proposition 107 passes, programs that many Arizonans consider essential for ensuring that all Arizonans have equal access to opportunities in education and employment could be affected, including an Arizona State University initiative that helps Native Americans transition from life on the reservation to life at college, a counseling program for teen fathers in Phoenix, and the popular Upward Bound program, which helps low-income college students of color prepare for college. |
