Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Affirmative action allows for a protected group member to be given preference over an equally or lesser qualified majority group member. It does not require that any protected group member must be hired over any majority group member, nor does it mean that white males can never be considered for a job. It also covers other areas besides just employee hiring and firing, such as promotions and educational opportunities.
