Why We Act Affirmatively
Because uncle Jack told us to, and he shook Frank Sinatra’s hand. Then Congress passed laws requiring it for individuals with disabilities (1973) and Vietnam era veterans (1974, now applicable to a broader group of veterans).1
While the term “affirmative action” is often associated with a decision or outcome, it’s a process. A better name would be “affirmative actions” to describe the additional steps required of contractors. Rather than just avoiding a prohibited (negative) outcome of unequal opportunity, a contractor must also take certain (affirmative) steps to ensure equal opportunity. Those steps collectively, are affirmative action.
