加利福尼亚州州长Gavin Newsom签署了一项法律,拨款600万美元用于研究受奴役者后裔的祖先核查,设立了一个州局,以推动赔偿努力,但否决了若干相关法案,包括大学入学优惠和后代住房援助法案。 California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law allocating $6 million to study ancestry verification for descendants of enslaved people, establishing a state bureau to advance reparative efforts, but vetoed several related bills, including those for college admissions preferences and housing aid for descendants. Newsom将法律关切和现有的禁止种族偏好的法律禁令作为否决的理由,强调大专院校已经拥有入学自由裁量权。 Newsom cited legal concerns and existing legal bans on racial preferences as reasons for the vetoes, emphasizing that colleges already have admissions discretion. 这一行动遵循了2023年工作队提出的赔偿建议,尽管维护者认为这些行动没有获得有意义的补救。 The move follows a 2023 task force recommendation for reparations, though advocates argue the actions fall short of meaningful redress.
