WINO-TV has several job openings that it needs to fill. As you may recall from your book, a court in 1998 struck down the FCC's Equal Employment Opportunities rules, and rules the FCC created in 2000 were struck down in 2001. Therefore, the status of the current law only requires WINO to post an advertisement of the job openings on a company bulletin board, and not to discriminate in its hiring.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Just posting a job on the company bulletin board is not taking any affirmative action. The station would have to take some steps to broaden its candidate pool; otherwise job applicants will never be any more diverse than their current workforce. The station can have a job fair, advertise in the local newspaper, etc, but a half-hearted effort like posting it on a company bulletin board is not affirmative action.
