Affirmative Action Still Saddled with Negative Image: Bad-Mouthing by Beneficiaries Baffles Many.

Phillip, Mary-Christine

Black Issues in Higher Education, v11 n2 p24-26 Mar 24 1994

Affirmative action in hiring black and Hispanic college faculty is still controversial and has still not achieved its objectives. Even some middle-class black professors who have benefited from the policy oppose it. Misconceptions about the function of affirmative action persists; to some, it connotes preferential treatment and racial quotas. (MSE)
