Affirmative Action programs
Please be very cognizant of an open minded and fair tone in
this question, and demonstrate the sensitivity to diversity that the University
wishes to foster. None of us would choose to offend any classmate with our
response.
Questions: Given your experience and knowledge gained, and
in light of the recent California legislative action to prohibit
state-sponsored programs, do you believe there have been positive benefits in
Affirmative Action programs? Do you believe they should continue? Please feel
free to give examples of successful implementations or not-so-successful examples,
and be willing to qualify and explain your answer by geography or other
factors. Often your answer may be couched in the context of whether your firm
would implement a voluntary program, and reasons why.
