  • California's Affirmative Action Fight
    Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.5.18 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ The University of California@150* CALIFORNIA’S AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FIGHT: Power Politics and the University of California March 2018 John Aubrey Douglass** UC Berkeley Copyright 2018 John Aubrey Douglass, all rights reserved. ABSTRACT This essay discusses the contentious events that led to the decision by the University of California’s Board of Regents to end affirmative action in admissions, hiring and contracting at the university in July 1995. This was a significant decision that provided momentum to California’s passage of Proposition 209 the following year ending “racial preferences” for all of the state’s public agencies. Two themes are offered. In virtually any other state, the debate over university admissions would have bled beyond the confines of a university’s governing board. The board would have deferred to lawmakers and an even more complicated public discourse. The University of California’s unusual status as a “public trust” under the state constitution, however, meant that authority over admissions was the sole responsibility of the board. This provided a unique forum to debate affirmative action for key actors, including Regent Ward Connerly and Governor Pete Wilson, to pursued fellow regents to focus and decide on a hotly debated social issue related to the dispersal of a highly sought public good – access to a selective public university. Two themes are explored. The first focuses on the debate within the university community and the vulnerability of existing affirmative action programs and policies—including a lack of unanimity among the faculty regarding the use of racial preferences.

While it is not possible to predict how much money will be spent between now and November 2, it may be useful to compare the levels of spending in this year’s primary campaign with that of previous election cycles. In this report, “Breaking the Bank,” staff of the Fair Political Practices Commission determined the spending of each candidate in every California gubernatorial primary since 1978 and calculated the actual spending per vote cast—in 2010 dollars—as candidates sought their party’s nomination. The conclusion: over time, gubernatorial primary elections have become more costly and fewer people turnout at the polls. But that only scratches the surface of what has happened since 19781. Other highlights of the report include: Since 1998, the rise of the self-funded candidate has dramatically increased the cost of running for governor in California.

  • Lessons from the Deukmejian Era for Contemporary California State Budgeting
    FROM JERRY­RIGGED TO PETERED OUT: LESSONS FROM THE DEUKMEJIAN ERA FOR CONTEMPORARY CALIFORNIA STATE BUDGETING Daniel J.B. Mitchell, UCLA Ho­Su Wu Professor of Management and Public Policy The new governor took office in the midst of a major state budget crisis. At the time he took office, it was unclear that state could pay its bills if drastic action were not taken. Yet the incoming governor was committed to a no­tax­increase program. Through borrowing, the state managed to surmount its budget crisis. As the economy recovered and resulting tax revenue flowed in, it even was able to engage in major construction projects. When he stood for re­ election, the governor was overwhelmingly returned to office for a second term. Sadly, however, the economy began to slow during that second term. Fears mounted that the state could face a renewed budget crisis. This description may seem to depict the career to date of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He inherited a budget crisis from Gray Davis who he replaced in the 2003 recall. But the introductory vignette actually refers to the story of George Deukmejian (“Duke”) who was first elected in 1982, inheriting a budget crisis from Jerry Brown. (Deukmejian’s construction projects leaned towards prisons for most of his terms in office, needed as state sentencing laws tightened, rather than the roads and other infrastructure pushed by Schwarzenegger.) And as it turned out, the economic downturn that began to take shape towards the end of Deukmejian’s second term indeed did produce a major budget crisis, a legacy he left for his successor, Pete Wilson.

  • Governors and the Executive Branch
    I' I 1 Chapter 9 Governors and the Executive Branch Ethan Rarick The history of modem American politics cannot be written without discussing Cali~omia governors. One former governor (Ronald Reagan) went on to serve as president ofthe United States, of course, but in addition to that three others ran for president (Earl Warren, Jerry Brown, and Pete Wilson), one served as chief justice of the United States (Warren), and another was a global celebrity who could not seek the presidency only because he was a foreign-born immigrant (Arnold Schwarzenegger). The status of the office as a potential presidential launching pad caused at least two other national political figures-U.S. Sen. William Knowland and former Vice President Richard Nixon-to 'run for governor, and although Nixon lost his gubernatorial bid he ofcourse went on to eventually win the presidency. Aside from national elective politics, California's chief executive governs more Americans than anyone save the pre~ident, sits atop a state with the world's ninth largest economy, and often occupies a place on the world stage similar ta the leaders ofmiddle-sized nations. The incumbent as of 2013, Jerry Brown, is no exception to any of these trends. H~ ran for president three times his election to a third term in 2010 garnered national and even international m;dia attention, and were he a younger man, ~e woul~ sur~ly be consr·dere. d one of the frontrunners for the Democratic .preside.ntial nomination in 2016.
