1) Wow. it is takes a special level of arrogance for someone who has never worked in Higher Ed admissions to tell someone who HAS that her “opinion” that blacks are favored over whites is wrong!
2) Your opinion is wrong. Whites are routinely discriminated against in admissions, in favor of blacks (and to a lesser degree Latinos) with substantially lower exam scores and GPAs.

Wow, so much to wade through, you know if you would take a deep breath and actually read and understand what I've stated we could avoid a lot of this back & forth and rancor.
I was very specific in what I was referring to - your allegation that blacks are being "favored" over whites and your opinion that this perceived "favoritism" is unfair.
I based my conclusion on information that you yourself provided - that there were no such
written policies favoring black people over anyone else where you were working "in Higher Ed", according to you this was just something that was done. But I was also specifically addressing how the original EO which created affirmative action applies to employment, not college admissions. That's an entirely different area.
And by the way, the article you linked to specially states
American medical schools generally deny any positive discrimination quota, respecting the US Supreme Court's ruling that quotas based on race or ethnicity are illegal.
while I specifically explained and cited a link to the government's website that companies and presumably schools as well are often required to increase the number of black people and other minorities in their workforce or again presumably student population, not so much as punishment per se but to correct essentially for past and current violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That's the only set of circumstances where an organization is legally required to fill a "quota" of sorts.

3) During my tenure, I witnessed not one but TWO professionals forced to resign because they objected to the extremes by which blacks were being favored, and whites discriminated against. The “holistic” approach applied to justify racism was beyond ridiculous, and when they “didn’t get with the program“ - the best example of current systemic racism around - the liberals drove them off. (And no, I was not one of the two because I knew to keep my mouth shut around racist liberals. I resigned on my own.)
4) The original EO did not say to favor the black race over whites. But black activists and their enabling white leftists have perverted the EO to meet their “social justice” goals - which means discriminating against whites And Asians and favoring blacks. The SCOTUS will put a stop to that with its ruling in the upcoming case against Harvard.
Have at it Lisa, I'd bet my last dollar you won't be able to make heads nor tails out of the actual information regarding the law in association with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 & the Equal Employment
OPPORTUNITY Commission. What you're describing is the usual reaction amongst certain Whites anytime they see Black people beginning to make advances.
4) Of course I’ve worked in management, and no - Jews are not favored. If there are more of them in management, it’s because Jews as a group have higher degrees. But when a black and a white or Jew went up for the same position, and they had the identical qualifications, the black was usually selected. In some cases the black was picked when his or her qualifications were worse. (When it happened to a friend of mine, she sued - and won - but most people don’t bother. When it happened to me, I simply left for a better opportunity.)
I didn't say you were favored as Jewish person, I said White women have benefited most from affirmative action, especially with moving into management positions. As a White woman you in all likelihood benefited from affirmative action.
In your example why would you complain if a Black person, White person and Jewish person all went for the same job and the Black person was selected if all three of them had the same qualifications? Before the passage of these laws, it wouldn't matter if the Black person was most qualified out of everyone, they still would not be hired. That's what these laws and policies have been seeking to correct.
5) Finally, I find it chilling that someone who supports favoritism toward blacks and discrimination against whites works in HR. Do you look for resumes with black-sounding names (Taneesha Jackson or Shaquila Brown) and push the ones with white-sounding names (Jeff Lawson or Mark Goldberg) to the bottom of the pile? Because you definitely are supporting favoritism toward blacks, and I would hate for it to show up in your work.
LOL, this is REALLY funny because you repeatedly keep demonstrating your lack of understanding of simple comments I make. I said I
CURRENTLY work in HR but then changed that to
HRIS. Think of it as the IT side of the Human Resources system. I don't hire or recruit people, that's what Talent Acquisition does. I work with the company employment data which is why I mentioned I have knowledge of the EEO reporting that is required in order for the organization to remain in compliance.
And no, you wouldn't "hate for it to show up in your work", just from what I know of you, you would be experiencing schadenfreude at anything that caused me harm because you stupidly believe that I actively go about my life intentionally causing harm to White people and I guess in some cases, Jewish people as well even though I have repeatedly let you know that my dislike is restricted to just you not the Jewish people as a whole. Nothing could be further from the truth, but you and your minions see only that which you want to see and it's your duplicitous nature that drives my dislike.
For example, if you are going to go relaying information to others (Dogmaphobe/Death Angel etc.) then at least do in on the same thread in which I made the comments because I cannot reply to what you all have stated because the thread is now closed to further comment, unless this is just one of your tactics.
There you stated, out of context I might add, that my credentials are "she works in HR" while Dogmaphobe claimed my credentials are my skin color, when I specifically stated that I 'currently' work in HRIS. Keep it up.
And for the record, at least one of my certifications has the seal of the United States Department of Homeland Security on it.
