In the U.S., the effort to improve the employment and educational opportunities of women and members of minority groups through preferential treatment in job hiring, college admissions, the awarding of government contracts, and the allocation of other social benefits. First undertaken at the federal level following passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, affirmative action was designed to counteract the lingering effects of generations of past discrimination. The main criteria for inclusion in affirmative action programs are race, sex, ethnic origin, religion, disability, and age. The Supreme Court of the United States placed important limitations on affirmative action programs in its 1978 ruling in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke; several subsequent Supreme Court decisions (e.g., Adarand Constructors v. Pena in 1995 and Texas v. Hopwood in 1996) imposed further restrictions. In 1996 California voters passed Proposition 209, which prohibited government agencies and institutions from discriminating against or giving preferential treatment to individuals or groups on the basis of race, sex, colour, ethnicity, or national origin. Similar measures were subsequently passed in other states. In 2002, in two landmark rulings involving admission to the University of Michigan and its law school, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the constitutionality of affirmative action but ruled that race could not be the preeminent factor in such decisions; United States regulations require employers to prepare affirmative action plans that are intended to provide equal employment representation within their workforce, with respect to ethnicity, gender and age; Results-oriented actions a contractor (such as the University), by virtue of its federal contracts, must take to ensure Equal Employment Opportunity; program in areas such as employment and education to provide more opportunities for members of groups that faced discrimination in the past; the effort made by an employer to increase employment opportunities for people who belong to a visible minority who are not adequately represented in the firm's labour force In the U S , legislation has mandated that certain groups, such as Afro-Americans, will receive this protection in the workplace; A program designed to increase the participation rates of targeted groups; encouragement of increased representation of women and minorities in employment (or universities, etc.); A program that became law with the passage of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, whereby employers, labor unions, employment agencies, and labor management apprenticeship programs must actively seek to eliminate minorities Although Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had outlawed future discriminations in employment practices, it had done nothing to redress already existing imbalances The 1972 law, later strengthened by executive orders, requires employers to draw up a detailed written plan for equalizing economic salaries, training programs, fringe benefits and other conditions of employment These plans included numerical goals and timetables for achieving such changes; Action taken by a government or private institution to make up for past discrimination in education, work, or promotion on the basis of gender, race, ethnic origin, religion, or disability; affirmative action refers to active efforts to locate and hire members of underrepresented groups; Positive steps to enhance the diversity of some group, often to remedy the cumulative effect of subtle as well as gross expressions of prejudice When numerical goals are set, they are set according to the group's representation in the applicant pool rather than the group's representation in the general population For example, a medical school with an affirmative action program would seek to admit members of an underrepresented group in proportion to their representation in the population of those who had completed pre-medical requirements and wished to attend medical school Affirmative action should be distinguished from reparations
