If we concentrate on hiring only women, or only members of specific minority groups, are we satisfying affirmative action responsibilities?
The goals of diversity cannot be achieved unless we hire veterans and people with disabilities, as well as women and members of all minority groups. Additionally, hiring women or minorities in positions which do not offer potential for advancement, or tokenism in hiring, is not acceptable. Everyone must be subject to equally applied standards of hiring and promotion or advancement. The same kinds of opportunities must exist for all individuals.
