A public college in California has produced a manual titled We Could Do That! A User’s Guide to Diversity Practices in California Community Colleges that amounts to detailed advice on how colleges can evade California’s ban on racial and ethnic preferences in public institutions. I have linked a PDF version of the 112-page manual and supplied some additional context at the NAS website, here.
This manual gives the measure of what racial preference die-hards are thinking when they say they will defend racial preferences “by any means necessary.” The manual includes case studies of various ways to thwart California’s basic law against discrimination. For instance, one institution—De Anza College—is reported to have procedures that allow the Academic Senate to “to turn down a hiring committee if members find that its ethnic and gender composition is not balanced.” The same college has a “diversity coordinator” who has the power “to recommend that the president and vice chancellor of human resources shut down the hiring process at any stage.”
