Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Consultations on the Affirmative Action Statement of the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights, Vol. 2: Proceedings; February 10 and March 10-11, 1981, Washington, D. C
In January 1981 the Commission's proposed statement, Affirmative Action in the 1980s: Dismantling the Process of Discrimination, was released for public comment. On February 10, March 10 and 11, and April 7, 1981, the Commission held a series of consultations at which written and oral comments on the proposed statement were presented or-submitted by lawyers, government officials, social scientists, academic administrators, management and labor representatives, and others. Experts also offered their views on the practical aspects of implementing draft document, the Commission revised the proposed statement. We also added an appendix that offers specific guidelines for designing, implementing, and evaluating affirmative action plans in employment. The finished statement was published-in November 1981.
Volume I of this publication compiled all papers submitted by consultation participants, as well as all other comments received by the Commission and the Commission's response. The transcript of the consultation proceedings is published here. It records the stimulating exchange of ideas that assisted us in improving the quality of our statement. The Commission would like to express its gratitude to all who participated in this project.
