Question

Federal statutes mandate both "affirmative action" and "quotas" for employees (by gender and/or race).​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Federal statutes require affirmative action in certain circumstances but do not mandate quotas for employees by gender or race, as quotas are generally considered unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Affirmative action is meant to encourage the increased representation of underrepresented groups, whereas quotas imply a specific number or percentage which must be met, leading to legal and ethical issues.
