ABSTRACT: Information is presented on the employment,
classification, and compensation of ethnic minorities and
women in California public postsecondary institutions in
1977, 1979, and 1981. The report is divided into separate
sections for the University of California, the State
University, and the California community colleges. Within
each section, data is provided on:
classification/occupational activity; compensation; full
time faculty by tenure status and rank; and new hires,
promotions, and separations. Primary emphasis in the textual
discussion is placed on the top three occupational
categories of Executive/Administrative/Managerial staff;
Faculty; and Professional Non-Faculty. Conclusions about
affirmative action for personnel in the three public
segments since 1977 include the following: there have been
modest increases in the percentages of women and minorities
in the faculty and staff of the public institutions; in most
employment categories, men are better represented than are
women, regardless of ethnic group; and the representation of
women and minorities in the tenure-track faculty, as well as
in the tenured faculty is discouraging. Appendices include
1982 reports and statistical data from the three segments of
postsecondary education; and the text of California Assembly
Bill No. 105. (SW)
