Martha West Comments on Ending Affirmative Action

Martha West, a professor of law and expert on employment and sex-based discrimination, commented on KXTV Channel 10 (ABC) on the effect of Proposition 209, passed in 1996, which called for prohibiting race and sex-based preferences and discrimination in California public education, employment, and contracting. West says that after the initiative was passed, the number of female faculty members hired at the University of California (UC Davis) fell from a 10-year average of 34 percent to 15 percent.
