A story about reaction to the passage of Proposal 2 references a statement issued Wednesday by Wayne State University. The ban on the use of affirmative action policies to eliminate barriers to women and minorities by public schools and governments is to go into effect in 45 days, which would be Dec. 22. Noting his disappointment with the passage of Proposal 2, Wayne State University President Irvin D. Reid said in a statement Wednesday that he recognizes the importance of the rule of law and respects the voters\' decision. The president of WSU, where about 7,000 Oakland County residents are students, has asked members of his team to do a comprehensive review of programs to determine the impact and what is and is not affected by the new constitutional ban on affirmative action. \"All our activities should promote diversity and inclusion, and they should all be consistent with any applicable legal requirements,\" Reid said. \"If necessary, we will develop alternatives to our present policies and determine methods for implementation that make sense during this time period.\"
