Quotas and set asides are illegal, he said. Kramer also pointed out the difference in California&#8217;s minority enrollment after a similar initiative became law. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Approximately 30 percent of high school graduates in California were African American or Hispanic in 1996. Today, that percentage is nearly 50 percent,&#8221; Kramer said. &#8220;Despite that growth, African American and Hispanic enrollment in the UC system is still lower today than it was 12 years ago.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Both men agreed Nebraska does not have state statutes that grant preferential treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Questions from audience members reflected similar themes from the impact on recruiting faculty to the fate of outreach programs for underrepresented groups. <\/p>\n<p>Tietz was quick to point out the university can still have those programs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In California, (the first state to pass a similar ballot initiative) recruitment programs such as women in engineering still exist but are just open to anyone,&#8221; Tietz said. &#8220;So, you could still have a Latino outreach day, but anyone can attend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But, it&#8217;s not a Latino outreach day, is it?&#8221; Kramer asked. &#8220;Simply put, I&#8217;m against this initiative because what the words say and what the words do are two very different things. There are significant, unintended consequences to changing our constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Something, both men, will just have to disagree on.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the general election just days away, UNMC&#8217;s Faculty Senate sponsored a forum on Wednesday concerning a controversial
