- Affirmative action programs: <u>c. are controversial because they are seen as reverse discrimination</u>.

- One of the possible legal challenges to affirmative action programs is that they violate the <u>equal protection</u> clause of the <u>Fourteenth</u> Amendment. Because this amendment is at play, any affirmative action program that uses race or ethnicity as a basis for decision making is reviewed by the courts using <u>strict</u> scrutiny.

- Because discrimination law is primarily federal, states are not allowed to pass laws that ban affirmative action or protect classes other than those in the federal laws- <u>this is a false statement</u>.

<u>Explanation</u>:

An affirmative action is a program that uses past discrimination to justify present decisions by giving some sort of consideration to protected status.

Discrimination means treating an individual differently and unfairly because of their race, sex or social status. A discrimination law deals with the incidents of unequal or unfair treatment. People are even discriminated based on disability, genetic makeup and other personal characteristics.

According to <em><u>Fourteenth Amendment</u></em>, the court uses strict analysis to review affirmative action programs.

Neko [114]

Answer:

d. relies on a sample that is too small to represent the entire corporate workforce

Explanation:

the conclusion is suspect because a 100 employee in a single corporation is too small to represent the entire corporate workforce. Larger sample size involving more than one corporation will be more representative than using a single corporation, the study is not random.

Option A is wrong because it was never stated by the researcher that  corporate employees are more sleep deprived than other people.

Option C is wrong because the effect of sleep deprivation is out of the scope of the study.

Option B is also wrong because the evidence provided is statistically possible.
