No it isn’t. Affirmative action programs in employment are legal.

No, they are not.

Diversity efforts sit in a gray area that is nowhere close to race quotas.

Race quotas are illegal in both employment and admissions but affirmative action is not.

The trick is that affirmative action is sold as an effort to negate other discrimination.
