 Northern Arizona University versus White Male Teachers
NAU's official AA policy states: "The Board and the universities will take affirmative action to ensure equality of opportunity to minorities, females, veterans and disabled persons in faculty, administrative, professional, and classified positions; in educational programs and in all other Board or university programs and activities."
Various university spokespeople, including the Ombudsperson, feminists, and pro-quota activists have attempted to justify the blatant anti-white-male discrimination represented by the university's action.
During the trial, the plaintiffs produced an internal University study from 1993 -- the year the special minority raises were issued -- which showed that there was no statistically meaningful difference in salary levels between female professors, non-minority male professors, and minority professors.
