Affirmative Action and the Academic Profession

Robert C. Johnson

Abstract: Affirmative Action in the academic profession must be viewed as a remedial concept designed to ameliorate the present effects of past discrimination. The historical denial of equal access to secondary schools and colleges has limited the number of available black professors. An affirmative action program designed to remedy the results of this past exclusion would be justifiable if the program were properly conceived and implemented.
