Education board supports affirmative action
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska Board of Education has approved a resolution in support of diversity in the state’s public education facilities.The measure adopted Thursday comes as state lawmakers consider an amendment to the state constitution that would bar preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in public employment, education or contracting.It is being pushed by a California group that must get about 114,000 signatures to put its proposal on the November ballot.
The board’s resolution says diversity “enriches the educational experiences of students and strengthens the competitiveness of our state and nation.”
