Affirmative action is an issue that's
been debated in state legislatures,
attacked in court rooms and has prompted
protests on college campuses during the
past year.
Here's a look at the presidential
candidates' views on affirmative action:
Democrat Bill Clinton said, "We
should reaffinn the principle of affirmative
action and fix the practices. Mend it, but
don't end it."
The President said he supports
affirmative action programs but wants
limits. He created a task force to review
government affirmative action programs
and concluded they were worthwhile.
However, he opposes quotas and has
directed federal departments to change
any program that creates a preference
for unqualified people.

people together," President Clinton said, j
Clinton opposes Proposition 209, the ,
California ballot measure that would
end race and gender preferences in state <
hiring and university admissions.
Republican Bob Dole said, "You do
not cure the evil of discrimination with
more discrimination."
Dole once supported affirmative action
but now opposes it, favoring programs
based on merit.
"I think now we've reached a point
where we need to move on," Dole said.
As Senate majority leader, he
introduced the fiiqual fiimployment
Opportunity Act of 1996, which would
end most federal affirmative action
programs. He supports efforts to recruit

"What we really want to have

ifs time to end quotas...and preferences
and deal with merit," Dole said.
Dole said he supports Proposition
209.
Reform Party leader Ross Perot holds
a middle view on affirmative action, in
comparison to Dole and Clinton.
"It needs to be find-tuned and
changed," Perot said.
Perot said he believes affirmation
action made dramatic changes in America
and led to "tremendous progress" by
minorities. But the program has problems
that need to be worked out, he said.
Perot has not taken a stance on
Proposition 209, but said, "To shut it
down may or may not be premature.I
would like to study that."
