Panel discusses proposal to remove Affirmative Action from Utah's constitution.
The proposal to remove Affirmative Action from Utah’s constitution is back on the table. Utah House Minority Leader David Litvack participated in a panel on Monday night which debated the pros and cons of the proposal.
From the Salt Lake Tribune:
“House Minority Leader David Litvack, D-Salt Lake City, called preferential treatment in Utah “a myth.”
State hiring policies and admission policies at the state’s public colleges and universities prohibit decisions based on any criteria other than an applicant’s abilities.
“Preferential treatment does not exist in the state of Utah, so if we’re here to stop preferential treatment we can go home, because it’s already been stopped. It doesn’t exist,” Litvack said.
