TITLE: The Ramifications and Implications of Affirmative
Action on Hiring.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1990
NOTE: 24 p.; This document is designed as a companion to the
Academic Senate's "Contract Faculty Hiring Procedures: A
Model Based on AB 1725," ED 315 140.
ABSTRACT: Effective implementation of legislative mandates
is the prime responsibility of academic senates. Inherent
with this authority and responsibility is accountability.
"Lip service" and "paper shuffling for compliance" are not
surrogates for actual and effective implementation of the
affirmative action mandates of Assembly Bill (AB) 1725. This
report, issued by the Affirmative Action Committee of
Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges
(ASCCC) is designed to aid local academic senates in their
endeavors to address the mandates of AB 1725 as regards
affirmative action hiring. The report provides the following
information: (1) specific state and federal affirmative
action legislation; (2) clarification of terms as they
relate to diversity; (3) guidelines for interpreting the
subjective terminology of AB 1725; (4) enhancement of
diversity through role models and educational enrichment;
(5) hiring of the disabled; (6) the role of the affirmative
action officer and the affirmative action representative in
the hiring process; (7) the role of the interviewing
committee in the hiring process; (8) selection of the final
candidate; (9) utilization and accountability of the
authority of the Academic Senate and the
Chancellor/President; (10) procedures for job announcements
and job descriptions; and (11) frequently used terms in
affirmative action. References and a sample AB 1725 job
announcement for a full-time history instructor are
included. (PAA)
