Response to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI0BiXrQNMk by KillaCommieForMommie Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265 (1978) was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on affirmative action. It bars quota systems in college admissions but affirms the constitutionality of affirmative action programs. http://supreme.justia.com/us/438/265/case.html -------------------- U.S. DOL OFCCP Facts on Executive Order 11246 — Affirmative Action D. Goals, Timetables & Good Faith Efforts The numerical goals are established based on the availability of qualified applicants in the job market or qualified candidates in the employers work force. Executive Order numerical goals do not create set-asides for specific groups, nor are they designed to achieve proportional representation or equal results. Rather, the goal-setting process in affirmative action planning is used to target and measure the effectiveness of affirmative action efforts to eradicate and prevent discrimination. The Executive Order and its supporting regulations do not authorize OFCCP to penalize contractors for not meeting goals. The regulations at 41 CFR 60-2.12(e), 60-2.30 and 60-2.15, specifically prohibit quota and preferential hiring and promotions under the guise of affirmative action numerical goals. In other words, discrimination in the selection decision is prohibited. http://www.dol.gov/esa/OFCCP/regs/compliance/aa.htm
