What are the 3 types of affirmative action?

1. Race-conscious admissions: This type of affirmative action gives preferential treatment to applicants from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups. This can be done by setting aside a certain number of spots for students from these groups or by giving them extra points in the admissions process.

2. Gender-conscious admissions: This type of affirmative action gives preferential treatment to applicants from underrepresented gender groups. This can be done by setting aside a certain number of spots for women or by giving them extra points in the admissions process.

3. Other forms of affirmative action: These include programs that give preferential treatment to applicants from low-income families or first-generation college students.
