The California Civil Rights Initiative, also known as Proposition 209, outlawed the use of race, ethnicity, and gender preferences in college admissions, as well as in public employment and contracting. It did not support the use of affirmative action, nor did it extend civil rights protections to homosexuals or the disabled. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Proposition 209 in a 1997 decision.
