Except for that it's not a quota, at least not in the sense that the word is used within the context of affirmative action, because there is no maximum cap set

Except for that it's not a quota, at least not in the sense that the word is used within the context of affirmative action, because there is no maximum cap set on the number of board members.
- djrogers 8y agoIt is a quota - quotas need not be proportional to be quotas. From the dictionary: “3 : a fixed number or percentage of minority group members or women needed to meet the requirements of affirmative action”
- Alex3917 8y agoOf all the supreme court cases involving quotas, which have involved a mandate to admit a fixed number of minorities with an uncapped class size or whatever? The "dictionary says" isn't a very good argument if it's not aligned with case law.
- djrogers 8y agoThe Supreme Court interprets law - it does not define words.
