Abstract

Examines recent moves in the USA to prevent affirmative action (also known as reverse discrimination), looking at the proposition passed in California in 1996 which has made affirmative action illegal. Indicates the extent to which similar moves have been made in other parts of the USA, including the court decisions that have prevented Rice University and the University of Texas from using racial preferences in their admissions procedures.
