UC Response to 209

UC Response to Temporary
Restraining Order, Dec. 6

>December 6, 1996

>CHANCELLORS

>Dear Colleagues:

>Judge Henderson of the United States District Court for the Northern

District of California today issued a temporary restraining order against

the University stopping implementation of Proposition 209 pending a hearing

on a preliminary injunction now set for December 16. It seems that the only

decisions between now and December 16 which might have been impacted by

Proposition 209 involve undergraduate admissions and some graduate financial

aid, both issues of serious concern to students and their parents. In light

of this and in order to be fair to our students, I ask that you not make

such decisions until after we know the results of the December 16th hearing.

>We will be in touch with you immediately following the December 16th

hearing to advise you about whether a preliminary injunction has been

entered and to provide guidance as to how to proceed.

>General Counsel advises that the order has no impact on employment,

contracting, and graduate admissions programs which have already been

changed as a result of SP-1 and SP-2.

>Please direct any questions to Deputy General Counsel Morrison or Assistant

Vice President Galligani.

>Sincerely,

>C. Judson King
