ERIC TITLE NUMBER: ED110776 AUTHOR: Wheeler, Helen Rippier
TITLE: Alice in Wonderland, or, Through the Looking Glass;
Resources for Implementing Principles of Affirmative Action
Employment of Women.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1975
NOTE: 14 p.
ABSTRACT: The annotated bibliography of resources for
implementing principles of affirmative action employment of
women consists of an alphabetical listing of 64 references
of periodicals, organizations, films, books, pamphlets,
tapes, slides, and microfilms. In a three-page introduction
to the problem, the author defines an affirmative action
program as "a set of specific result-oriented action
commitments and procedures designed to systematically
achieve an equitable redistribution of both sexes (and
other
protected classes) within a workforce." The author further
sees the program as one containing goals and timetables so
that the workforce distribution takes place as soon as
possible within a prescribed time period, with major
program
emphasis on the recognition and removal of barriers,
identification of persons unfairly excluded or held back,
and action enabling them to compete for jobs on an equal
basis. Disparate treatment of sexes, wage differentials,
and
harrassment are singled out as examples of specific charges
typically needing to be filed by females in institutions
without affirmative action programs or with token programs.
The author also stresses open advertising policies that
communicate news of specialized employment opportunities to
all qualified women. (Author/EA)

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an unpublished research study.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.
