Consultations on the Affirmative Action Statement of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights
- Share to:
Preface
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 1 1, 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
affirmative action plans. Based on this information and a thorough review of the
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.
This publication compiles all papers submitted by consultation participants, as well
as all other comments received by the Commission, and the Commission's response
to those who were unable to participate in the consultations and conveyed their
comments through correspondence. The transcript of the consultation proceedings
will be published as a second volume. 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.
