that would be difficult to accommodate.

Part V:
As the human resources manager,
you are now ready to complete your diversity training manual to be used for
training and sensitizing your employees on diversity issues. This final section
will cover actual legislation. You would like your employees to not only be
aware of issues dealing with discrimination that may not be addressed in
legislation (the moral component) but to be knowledgeable of the seriousness of
the discriminatory practices that have been made into law.
Affirmative Action is one of the most
contentious issues; its intent and the discriminatory result of applying it in
practice has become a major issue in today’s workforce.
Using this Web site (or any
others you find), write a paper of 4-6 pages that will summarize the following
points and become part of the training manual:
•What is Affirmative Action?
•What was the initial intent of
Affirmative-Action legislation?
•What did the landmark Bakke v.
Regents case conclude? Click here to read the case.
•What was the basis for the
conclusion?
•What are the positive and
negative results of Affirmative Action legislation?
•In your evaluation, is
Affirmative Action legislation is still appropriate?
