the attention of the media, courts, practitioners and legislators.

Affirmative Action is the policy that goes beyond equal employment opportunity

by requiring organizations to become proactive with the law and correct past

discriminatory practices by increasing the number of minorities and women in specific

positions. While EEO law is largely a policy of nondiscrimination, affirmative action

requires employers to analyze their workforce and develop a plan of action to correct

workforce. This is accomplished by employing protected classes for jobs where they are

underrepresented. Affirmative action attempts to correct past practices of discrimination

by actively recruiting minority group members.Midterm
