I would like Mr. Rivera to discuss the definition of affirmative action beyond the historical view. In particular, the myths vs the reality of what affirmative action is. Also, discuss affirmative action's impact in higher education. Great hearing from you. Under affirmative action minorities and women receive preferences.
Affirmative action is really quotas.
Affirmative action leads to reverse discrimination. Affirmative action programs that aid the economically disadvantaged are enough to address discrimination. The first thing any AA professional should do, in my humble opinion, is to join the American Association for Affirmative Action. This would give you the opportunity to network with a nationwide group of AA professionals. If an employer is a major federal contractor, the employer is required to maintain an affirmative action plan.
