The affirmative action plan according to Pilon v. SVSU & Thompson (2003), “Reduce the barriers that inhibit success by minorities.” The plan also states that the university must “undertake extraordinary efforts in the years ahead to serve students from diverse, racial and ethnic communities. This will require efforts to expand the pool of available candidates in hiring decisions, to provide genuine consideration for a greater variety of relevant experiences and credentials to achieve the University’s broad goals.” The court decided that the existence of an affirmative action plan by itself does not provide strong evidence unless there are facts that show it played a roll in the employer’s decision. The defendants insist that the plan did not play any roll when hiring for the position of Coordinator of Campus
