Brazil is one of the countries that have instituted a program of Affirmative Action. In Brazil, less than 2% of Black Brazilian citizens are in college. To remedy this problem, Brazil has instituted a policy of Affirmative Action. If it was so bad and discriminatory, why would another country institute its policies? The truth is that it is not so bad. It gives people who have been used and exploited a chance at the good things of life. Remember, Affirmative Action is not supported by quotas. In Affirmative Action, quotas are strictly forbidden. Most people believe the myths about Affirmative Action before they believe the facts. It is a myth to think that the citizenry of the United States does not support Affirmative Action. Another myth is if Affirmative Action were enforced, White wo...

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's expenditure of $88 million in overtime pay largely because of its inability to find qualified job applicants and a lack of D.C. residents in its workforce is troublesome to two members of the D.C. Council, who said Metro has to do more to correct those and other problems. Council member Mary Cheh, Ward 3 Democrat and chairwoman of the Committee on the Environment, Public Works and Transportation, said Metro must do more to hire District residents, and that she also was "pretty astounded" to learn how few female employees are on Metro's payroll - around 27 percent.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is proposing to revise the regulations implementing the non-discrimination and affirmative action regulations of section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. Section 503 prohibits discrimination by covered Federal contractors and subcontractors against individuals on the basis of disability, and requires affirmative action on behalf of qualified individuals with disabilities. The proposed regulations would strengthen the affirmative action provisions, detailing specific actions a contractor must take to satisfy its obligations. They would also increase the contractor's data collection obligations, and establish a utilization goal for individuals with disabilities to assist in measuring the effectiveness of the cont...

After two decades of corporate diversity programs, rampant racial discrimination in hiring, promotions and wages is still evident in comprehensive data produced by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and other statistical sources. The number of racial harassment charges reported to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has doubled over the same period. The most modern model for diversity programs is to move away from a focus on workforce composition and toward a focus on diverse markets, notes Valerie Hoffman, who leads Seyfarth Shaw's affirmative action and diversity consulting practice group. The current model lifts diversity programs out of human resources and puts them in the corporate social responsibility function. Another part of the model -- appointing a chief diversity o...

In addition to set-asides and subcontracting opportunities, price evaluation adjustments for SDBs were authorized, providing a 10% preference in competitive acquisitions.33 Preferences, as applied to small businesses, have long been an accepted practice.34 However, when such preferences are applied to SDBs, protestors contend that it is a violation of equal protection rights and that the government, while promoting affirmative action, is engaging in reverse discrimination.35 III.\n Further, at the level of public policy development, there is a clear recognition that workplace diversity is a critical variable in developing harmonious, stable, and progressive societies.186 Government agencies continue to face the pressure of protecting the equal rights of non-minority or non-disadvantaged...
