This law appears to define fairness using "demographic parity", aka a model is assumed to be fair if equal fractions of each candidate group is selected. So if 20 women and 100 men apply, it would be considered unfair to accept 10 women and 20 men (as 10/20 != 20/100).

Where are you getting that? It does no such thing, please don’t concoct absurd stories. You can read the law in its entirety since it was linked in the article. [1] It doesn’t even try to define fairness or say a thing about demographics, it only requires a regular audit, and it relies entirely on already-existing Federal Equal Employment Regulations, which does not model demographics in equal fractions.
