California Prop 209 Takes Effect Amid Ongoing Legal Battles
Nine months after voter approval, California's Proposition 209 technically takes effect Thursday but officials expect no immediate impact as lawsuits and legislative challenges continue. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted its stay, allowing enforcement of the race and gender based preferences ban in public hiring contracting and education, including University admissions. Existing laws must be repealed or found unconstitutional before full effect is felt, with officials warning the process could span another year. The ACLU plans further action at the Supreme Court to block Prop 209.

Previous year counts were higher, and a state court ruling backed by the Supreme Court barred race as a factor in admissions.
