One side coitends that such po;licies are necessary to ensure an equality of results, reflecting a true equality of oppori unity. The other sideargues that such preferences are unconstitutional re-- verse discrimination. Can we achieve equality in America without race-, sex-, or ethnic- conscious remedies for discrimination? is it just and constitutional to deny a qualified person ani equal chance for a job by giving soneone else a preference, to redress past; injustices or to eliminate present discrimination? Do groups have rights under the Constitution, or does the Constitution require tlat individual rights predonminate in every instance?
