ABSTRACT: This fourth revision of the Affirmative Action
Plan (AAP) of the National Education Association (NEA)
outlines NEA policy and regulations and incorporates
quantitative information on current NEA employment levels
and hiring goals for women and minorities. A brief policy
statement is followed by a review of objectives, including
the general objectives of employing minorities in
percentages at least equal to their representation in the
labor forces from which NEA seeks applicants, and employing
disabled persons whenever possible. A responsibility
assignment section states that all members of NEA management
staff share the responsibility for AAP implementation and
details the specific responsibilities of the director of
employee relations for administering, monitoring, and
assessing management compliance. Current utilization
percentages of women and minorities compared to objectives
within six job categories--executive, managerial,
professional, technical support, administrative and clerical
support, and trades and crafts--are summarized in tables, as
are annual goals for categories in which underutilization
occurs. Implementation practices and procedures including
guidelines for recruitment, selection, promotion, community
action, advertising in NEA publications, and purchasing are
given. A reporting system to assist AAP evaluation is
described briefly, and an appendix shows the distribution of
job titles within job categories. (MJL)
