An article in the online version of The News yesterday evening includes a comment by President Irvin D. Reid regarding passage of the controversial Proposal 2, which bans affirmative action in government as well as public universities. He said passage of the proposal would have a "monumental" impact on the university. "This thing could be a nightmare for us for years to come and it could cost an infinite number of dollars," he said. Since the ballot language is broad, numerous university programs and practices would likely come under legal review. Jorge Chinea, director of WSU's Center for Chicano-Boricua Studies, also commented. "Any time you have a program geared to helping minority students in order to create a level playing field there is always a chance someone will look at that and think set asides and reverse discrimination, which it is not," he said.
