What does equal access mean? If I go to an all purple school, and focus my sourcing fro new hires on my school, then my company will by construction be more purple than the overall population without any explicit discriminatory treatment after that. If I broaden my sourcing is that discriminating against minorities? If I know that school B does a better job of interview prep than school A should I take that into account? Am I hiring for SAT scores or predicted performance on the job? It's much messier than just "equal access or equal outcome" because access and outcomes are continuous processes.
