Doesnt affirmative action mean special preference is given to minority groups or that there are quotas?
No. Affirmative Action at the University of Utah does not give people an advantage in getting hired or promoted. There are no hiring quotas and no special treatment should ever be given for any reason unrelated to job qualifications. Only the best person for the job should be hired or promoted. These decisions should never be based on someones minority status, and all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications for the position.
