“Proposition 107 would amend the Constitution to prohibit affirmative action programs which provide preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color ethnicity or national origin in public employment, public education and public contracting. Some programs of affirmative action are exempt from the ban.” (from League of Women Voters of Arizona Education Fund Voter Guide, page 6). Click on the blue link for online version.
