Read the following article, with a focus on the passage reprinted below:

When tech companies talk about hiring, they often talk about bringing in "the best person possible" and ignoring everything else. For many, "best" has meant the person who's most technically skilled or who will be shipping code the soonest after they start.

But some are redefining "best" to factor in diversity. At Penny, which builds a chatbot that texts users analysis and advice about their spending, chief executive officer (CEO) Mitchell Lee wanted the company's fifth hire to add diversity to the team. He spent the fall looking for candidates who were different from the four men who already worked there - affirmative action hiring, in his own words.

"When I say affirmative action, I mean I want to be able to see someone's picture," Lee said. If asked to choose between two hypothetical candidates who are equally qualified for a job at Penny, then he rejects the premise as false: Those two people are not equally qualified. "Somebody with a diverse background and a totally different perspective is more qualified for the position we're trying to fill, which is expanding upon the collective viewpoint of what Penny has," he said.

Employers seeking to diversify the workplace must be cognizant of not discriminating against the historically privileged groups.This tension is evident in the tech world, as described in the article.

What should these employers do in these situations? For example, Should they accept the status quo? Should they adopt the approach taken by Penny? Are there any otheralternatives?

Question 3 up to 10 points

Explain what you think is the best solution to the lack of diversity problem (that won't violate Title VII) and be sure to explain your reasoning thoroughly.
