Elroy and all, I take it back. Asian enrollment only crept up marginally after the passage of Prop. 209: aad.english.ucsb.edu She said opinion surveys show that most Asian Americans support affirmative action. In 1996, 76% of Asian American voters in California said in an election exit poll that they voted against Proposition 209, the ballot measure that barred the state from giving "preferential treatment" to any person because of race or ethnicity. University of California officials say the change in admissions policies has had little, if any, effect on the number of Asian American students. In 1997, before Proposition 209 went into effect, Asian American students accounted for 33.2% of the students admitted to the nine UC campuses. In 2002, they accounted for 33.8% of those admitted.
