Problem:
Which of the following most accurately reflects the criteria used to establish an affirmative action program? If 40 percent of the local population is Hispanic, the software development department at the local college should have 40 percent Hispanic students. If 55 percent of the local population is female, then 55 percent of all employees in the area should be female and this percentage should be maintained throughout all departments in the organization. If 10 percent of the software developers in the local area are Black, then a company should have about 10 percent Black employees on its software development staff. If 50 percent of the local population is Hispanic, then 50 percent of the company's software developers should be Hispanic.
