Topic 3.13
How has affirmative action influenced military recruitment and promotions?
Affirmative action led to a sharp drop in enlistment numbers due to perceived unfairness within recruiting practices.
Affirmative action resulted in lower physical standards being implemented for minority recruits.
It has allowed for greater ethnic and gender diversity within the ranks, especially at officer levels.
Military recruitment and promotions remained unchanged with affirmative action as they already adopted merit-based systems exclusively.
