The article views affirmative action as a policy for eradicating all of the present effects of conscious and unconscious, direct and indirect, racial and ethnic discrimination on the incoming student selection process.

In the paradigmatic case, both features are present, but criminal law also allows for liability where either of them is absent. Rules governing omission liability enable punishment where the offender performs no act, while rules defining inchoate crimes (such as attempt) impose liability where the offender causes no harm. In different ways, these two sets of rules establish the minimum threshold of objective conduct-to use the classic term, the minimum actus reus-required for criminal liability.
