Law professor Jonathan Weinberg is quoted in an article about a new Michigan Civil Rights Commission report on the impact Proposal 2 will have on state government programs. The most controversial part of the report centers on an exception to the proposal that sanctions affirmative action programs if they are necessary for eligibility for federal funds. "The trick is not just to land (a federal contract), it has to be one that's tied to affirmative action requirements," Weinberg said. "The problem there is the federal government isn't a big fan of imposing those requirements, so I don't know how many programs there actually are that have those sorts of strings attached to them." Backers of Proposal 2 have said they will be watching closely to see if state officials try to circumvent the intent of the law.
