In describing the relationship of affirmative action and descriptive statistics, I said, "Affirmative action is the legal enforcement of policies, descriptive statistics is specific descriptive data derived from research. The relationship of the two, or the association, is descriptive statistics is the groundwork base for the affirmative action."

In defining the relationship between the two as the "groundwork base", if a group, for example, were wanting to legally enforce these policies, what might this group use as the basis for the lawsuit? In other words, how would an organization be accused of not complying with their AA policies?"
