Executive orders 11246, 11375, and 11478 require federal contractors to take affirmative actions to compensate for historical discrimination against women, minorities, and handicapped individuals. These executive orders specifically address discrimination in employment practices and require federal contractors to take proactive steps to increase diversity and eliminate discrimination in their hiring and employment practices. The other options are incorrect because the executive orders address federal contractors, not educational institutions, labor unions, or state governments.
