The end of judicial deference to FCC policymaking in the affirmative action debate
Article Abstract:
The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, in Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod v. FCC, ruled that the FCC's equal employment opportunity and affirmative action policies were unconstitutional under the 5th amendment's inherent equal protection clause. The Court's ruling that preferential hiring programs by federal administrative agencies must be subjected to strict scrutiny should profoundly influence the tailoring of such programs to ensure constitutional compliance.
