Not at all. Actually, I was curious though if the word "qualified" meant qualified as in qualified for the job, or qualified as in meeting the criteria to be considered special disabled.

Qualified = has the right service dates & campaign medals to assert coverage under the VEVRA.

I don't understand why they lump the veteran section under affirmative action law for the sake of simplicity and enforcement, but it really doesn't seem to fit (just like quotas don't fit) except in the spirit of existing to prevent discrimination, i.e. "we won't hire you because we don't like military people."
I'm assuming this is largely overseen by Veterans Affairs in the capacity of job placement assistance and reintegration into veterans old jobs etc. It just seems rather odd that this particular stuff is considered affirmative action.
On a side note, I think quotas are often a friend of companies who impose them, while working against the employees and the customers/beneficiaries of the services provided. Basically, quotas are the easy way out if you can prove you are trying to meet them, because the fact is that not all ethnic groups and sexes apply for certain jobs/schools.
This is why companies save applications for years, and why larger companies give you the option of putting your race on the application if you want. If a Latino man goes to a coffee shop and gets bad service, then sues the coffee shop and uses the lack of Latino employees as further proof of discrimination, how does the coffee shop prove it never gets Latino applicants?

It's funny, the president of the University just had a huge rally in the diag (center of campus) bout how she was going to fight it legally, blah blah blah. Quite funny, how people preach for democracy, especially here, but never really seem to except the results.
