CONCERNING BLACKS AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PROSPECTUS If affirmative action programs are to remain viable and achieve their goals, that is the amelioration of discrimination in employment and advance the rights of all citizens to equal opportunity, a unilateral approach consisting of substantive and coherent changes must be applied with a conatus effort in the part of all parties concerned.
Conation (koh NAY shun) is a derivative of the Latin word conatus, which is defined as a natural tendency, impulse or striving; used in Spinozism philosophy, it is referred to as the inclination of a thing to persist in its own being.
Ergo latratuum istorum compescendorum caussa, tum etiam ut maiorem cadaverum copiam nancisci possemus, sententiam de sepeliendis honeste imposterum dissectis publice promulgare, et spectatores ad eleemosynas exhortari constituimus, non tamen nisi consulto prius Anatomico, qui simul ac nostram persentisceret voluntatem, sibi istud negocium relinqueremus, nec suae auctoritati derogaremus satis morose monuit; sicque conatus istos qualitercunque pios omnino praevertit.
