increasing diversity in public institutions and businesses

Affirmative Action programs set to bring more minorities into business and schools to better represent the overall US demographic and to deter discrimination that had taken place in hiring and admission processes.

Affirmative Action programs apply to ethnic, racial, and gender minorities. The goal of the program is to provide quota systems to participating public and private institutions and businesses. These quotas are meant to ensure minorities are being hired when they apply for positions they are qualified for and to better match the demographics found in the US.
