Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Affirmative action with preferential hiring involves actively seeking out and recruiting qualified minority and female candidates and giving them preference in the hiring process. This is different from passive nondiscrimination, which simply involves treating all applicants equally without actively seeking out minority and female candidates. Pure affirmative action could refer to any action that aims to increase diversity, but does not necessarily involve preferential hiring. Hard quotas, on the other hand, require employers to hire a certain number or percentage of minorities or women, which can be illegal and controversial.
