Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An affirmative action program is a plan designed to increase the number of minority employees within an organization through preferential hiring, promotions, or other measures. The Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but affirmative action programs go further by actively seeking to increase diversity within the organization. The Dodd-Frank Act is a financial reform law, and the Bill of Rights is a set of constitutional amendments that protect individual liberties. A social responsibility program may include initiatives to promote diversity, but it is not specifically aimed at increasing the number of minority employees.
