Mandatory Affirmative action programs bring about what type of participation

• A. Long term and broad
• B. Short term or limited
• C. Permanent and ongoing
• D. Irregular and infrequent

Answer: (B)

Mandatory affirmative action programs are designed to quickly correct past inequities by setting defined targets and timelines. This structured, goal-oriented approach creates participation that is time-bound and limited to achieving specific diversity goals. Once those goals are met or the plan is reevaluated, the emphasis shifts, so the participation isn’t intended to be permanent or ongoing in the same way as routine processes. That’s why the best description of the type of participation these programs bring about is short term or limited.
