Preferential Treatment: For Groups or for Individuals?

Simon, Robert L.

Phi Kappa Phi Journal, 58, 1, 7-9, Win 78

Preferential treatment for minority groups cannot be viewed as compensatory justice for past discrimination against those groups. If policies are based exclusively on group factors, they can be charged with unfairness to individuals. Race can be relevant to preferential treatment, but eligibility should not be restricted only to members of minority racial groups. (Author/LBH)
