AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO OPEN THE DOORS OF JOB OPPORTUNITY: A POLICY OF FAIRNESS AND COMPASSION THAT HAD WORKED (1984)The report outlines the historical conditions that gave rise to affirmative action policies in employment and traces the development of such policies since 1961, including the ways in which courts have dealt with issues of race consciousness. A major segment of the study deals with the impact of affirmative action on American business, drawing on a survey of corporations and a consultation held with business leaders. The report finds that affirmative action remedies have led to significant improvements in the occupational status of minorities and women in many industries and professions. The study also concludes that affirmative action has resulted in benefits to the workforce as a whole and has improved the efficiency of many businesses. [Order Form] [Reports] |
