2021 House Joint Resolution H

Permit state universities to discriminate in admissions and contracting

Introduced in the House

June 24, 2021

Introduced by Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-3)

To place before voters in the next general election a constitutional amendment that would repeal a ban authorized by the people in a 2006 election that prohibits state universities from establishing admissions or contracting policies that discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, certain individuals or groups on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. If placed on the ballot and approved by voters the proposal would permit such discrimination.
