The bake sale generated controversy and even a rebuke from the school\u2019s president.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Washington state legislature last week reversed a decades-old anti-discrimination law, revoking a ban on affirmative action and once more permitting schools to factor race and sex into their admission policies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cInitiative 1000 overturns a 1998 law, Initiative 200, which prohibited \u2018government entities from discriminating or granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.\u2019 The text of the now defunct I-200 legislation clarifies that public universities and colleges were included under these regulations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAffirmative action is the process by which officials consider factors like skin color and sex when making admission and hiring decisions.
