[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not DEI, it’s far better. It’s not just getting an opportunity to try, it’s being given preferential treatment on a silver plattter.[/quote] It is being [b]given a preference [/b]based on service. As far as it applies to a job application, I don't think it outweighs being qualified for the job. Historically, with the federal government [b]it gave you extra "points" on a job application[/b]. I think being a disabled veteran might have given more. 5 points for a regular vet. 10 points for a disabled vet or Purple Heart. I'd hardly call it getting a job on a silver platter. I think with the colleges it likely depends on the individual school if they give preference. Not sure all colleges do this.[/quote] So it's affirmative action. Giving value to certain "non-merit" characteristics. [/quote]
