criteria, or provide any examples, to aid in determining that question.
Subsequent passages of the Legislative Analyst's analysis, however, provide more guidance on this point. In discussing the potential fiscal effect of the passage of Proposition 209, the analysis contains separate sections discussing the measure's effect upon state and local programs in the areas of (1) public employment and contracting, (2) public schools and community colleges, and (3) the University of California and the California State University. Each section identifies some types of affirmative action programs that, according to the analysis, likely would be affected by the passage of the proposition.
With regard to public employment and contracting, the analysis states: "The measure would eliminate affirmative action programs used to increase hiring and promotion opportunities for state or local government jobs, where sex, race, or ethnicity are preferential factors in hiring, promotion, training, or recruitment decisions. In addition, the measure would eliminate programs that give preference to women-owned or minority-owned companies on public contracts. Contracts affected by the measure would include contracts for construction projects, purchases of computer equipment, and the hiring of consultants. . . . [ ] The elimination of these programs would result in savings to the state and local governments. These savings would occur for two reasons. First, government agencies no longer would incur costs to administer the programs. Second, the prices paid on some government contracts would decrease. This would happen because bidders on contracts no longer would need to show `good faith efforts' to use minority-owned or women- owned subcontractors. Thus, state and local governments would save money to the extent they otherwise would have rejected a low bidder ( because the bidder did not make a `good faith effort' ( and awarded the contract to a higher bidder." (Ballot Pamp., supra, Legis. Analyst's analysis of Prop. 209, p. 31.)
With regard to public schools and community colleges, the analysis states that "the measure could eliminate, or cause fundamental changes to, voluntary desegregation programs run by school districts" (Ballot Pamp., supra, Legis. Analyst's analysis of Prop. 209, p. 31, italics omitted), observing that " xamples of desegregation spending that could be affected by the measure include the special funding given to (1) `magnet' schools (in those cases where race or ethnicity are preferential factors in the admission of students to the schools) and (2) designated `racially isolated minority schools' that are located in areas with high proportions of racial or ethnic minorities. . . . [ ] In addition, the measure would affect a variety of public school and community college programs such as counseling, tutoring, outreach, student financial aid, and financial aid to selected school districts in those cases where programs provide preferences to individuals or schools based on race, sex, ethnicity, or national origin. . . ." (Ibid.)
Finally, with regard to the University of California and the California State University, the analysis states: "The measure would affect admissions and other programs at the state's public universities. For example, the California State University (CSU) uses race and ethnicity as factors in some of its admissions decisions. If this initiative is passed by the voters, it could no longer do so. . . . [ ] Both university systems also run a variety of assistance programs for students, faculty, and staff that are targeted to individuals based on sex, race, or ethnicity. These include programs such as outreach, counseling, tutoring, and financial aid. The two sy
