CSUruns "a variety of assistance
programs for students, faculty, and
staff that are targeted to individu¬
als based on sex, race, and ethnicity.
These include programs such as
outreach, counseling, tutoring, and
financial aid."
Jones said that a particular por¬
tion of the analysis is "not true." He
argues those programs — while le¬
gally mandated to target "minori¬
ties" or "underreprcsented groups"
— simply level the playing field
and thus do not constitute prefer¬
ential treatment.
Another part of the analysis says
the CSU "uses race and ethnicity
as factors in some of its admissions
decisions." Jones says that is true
only when a campus or particular
major is overcrowded, which is sel¬
dom the case.
For example, he said, Cal Poly,
San Luis Obispo is the only CSU
campus where the number of quali¬
fied applicants exceeds the open¬
ings, forcing administrators to use
other factors — including race and
gender.
Turnage said it surprised him
that the CSU did not challenge the
analysis during the public review
period, which precedes publication
of the voter pamphlet.
"They had the option of going
to court," he said. "I would argue
they had the obligation to go to
court if they so strongly objected.
And they didn't do it."
CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz
does not object to the printed analy¬
sis, spokeswoman Karen Newell
Young confirmed.
No official of the University of
California or any of the 71 indepen¬
dent community college governing
boards objected either, Turnage
said.
During preparation of the analy¬
sis, top officials from all three
higher education organizations met
routinely with Turnage and other
Legislative Analyst officials.
Lawyers, civil rights groups, and
others joined in — amounting to
"unprecedented" preparation for
writing the analysis, involving
"mountains of documents," said
Turnage, a Yale graduate who has
worked for the Legislative Analyst
since 1982.
The exceptions to CSU pro¬
grams that were not, in Jones's
opinion, safe from 209 were two
scholarship programs for minorities
that operated through this year.
Since then, he said, they have since
been collapsed into one.
But Turnage says those changes
don't go far enough.
"There is lots of evidence from
a variety of sources that even
though they have made some
changes, they haven't changed
nearly enough to comply with the
requirements of 209."
Both Jones and Tumage agree
that an "on-going dialogue" exists
to straighten out differences of in¬
terpretation.
Turnage based the analysis in
part on provisions of the Education
Code such as these:

sion Statement (from the Code).

"Particular efforts should be
made with regard to those who are
historically and currently
underrepresented in both their
graduation rates from secondary
institutions and in their attendance
at California higher educational in¬
stitutions."
• From the Admissions section,
that the UC and CSU "shall declare
as policy ... that students who are
eligible to transfer and who are
from historically underrepresented
groups or economically disadvan¬
taged families shall be given pref¬
erence, to the fullest extent possible
... in transfer admissions decisions
..." and the two schools "shall de¬
sign policies ... intended to facili¬
tate their success in achieving
transfer."
• From the Financial Aid section,
which directs "an emphasis on in¬
creasing the number of graduate
students from currently and histori¬
cally underrepresented groups who
are preparing to become ... teach¬
ers or... faculty members."
