The End of Affirmative Action?

Maguire, Timothy

Diversity and Division, v2 n1 p20-22 Fall 1992

In the coming era of shrinking opportunity in the professions, discrimination must be redefined so that there is consensus about fairness, and affirmative action within the professions should be deemphasized as the professions cease expanding. The burden of coming job shortages must be shared without favoring any one group. (SLD)
