Abstract
In the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions and the Reagan-Bush era, affirmative action programs have been up on the chopping block. Choosing to believe that we live in a color blind society and that everyone is equal, the administration wanted to do away with affirmative action programs.
During the course of this paper we will look at three areas:
1. Anti-discrimination Laws. A review of laws passed to open up opportunities for minorities and women.
2. Why prepare an affirmative action plan. Look at some of the benefits of preparing a plan.
3. Establishing an Affirmative Action Program. A review of terminology, the required contents and finally a sample affirmative action plan that can be utilized by any organization.
