TITLE: Implementation of a System for Gathering Data for
the
Purpose of Conducting an Affirmative Action Utilization
Availability Analysis and Setting of Goals and Time Tables
at a Large University.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1976
NOTE: 29 p.
ABSTRACT: Rather than purporting to be a definitive study
in
data gathering techniques for federal and state regulatory
agencies, this paper is a systems approach for gathering
data for affirmative action utilization availability
analysis and for setting goals and time tables at a large
university. The system is essentially for a large
university
setting but could be adapted to other types of educational
institutions. The section dealing with laws and orders
regarding equal employment opportunity offers a modicum and
synthesis of most of the mandates, executive orders, and
acts that offer guidelines and pertinent information. The
systems and PERT charts are given with sufficient detail
for
in-depth study. It is hoped that the paper will provide a
basic understanding of the complexities involved in
gathering data for federal and state regulatory agencies
dealing with affirmative action. (Author/LBH)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
