Debate Topics: Debate Two

Affirmative action, an issue most hotly debated in terms of collegiate admissions, is a state-held law that allows for "limited consideration of race in terms of creating more diverse communities." In other words, it allows colleges, employers and other such entities "some" ability to provide opportunities to individuals within certain minority groups.

The largest examples of such opportunities include minority based achievement scholarships and specialized programs. By contrast, "quotas," an old employment law that mandated work forces "had to" have an equal distribution of ethnic diversity have been outlawed. 

FOR: Affirmative action in New Jersey is necessary and should be upheld.

AGAINST: Affirmative action in New Jersey is reverse-discrimination and should be illegal.
