Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recruiting at community events near or on Native American reservations and at Indian tribal colleges is a proactive and legal way to increase representation of Native Americans in the workforce. It shows that the organization is actively seeking out qualified Native American candidates and is not discriminating against other candidates based on their national origin.

Option B violates anti-discrimination laws as it gives an advantage to candidates based on their national origin rather than their qualifications or experience.

Option C may also violate anti-discrimination laws if the designated positions are not based on a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) that requires a particular background or experience.

Option D is incorrect as option A is a legal and proactive measure.
