Program.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1981

ABSTRACT: Pursuant to the California Education Code,
Sections 87100-87106, this report summarizes the progress
made by the 70 California community college districts in
meeting affirmative action regulations calling for the
establishment of district hiring programs aimed at
increasing the number of women and ethnic minorities
employed at all levels of responsibility. The report first
examines the legal responsibility of the Office of the
Chancellor to monitor district compliance; the effect of
current fiscal constraints on this compliance; and the
cooperative efforts of the districts to improve compliance.
District compliance as of mid-1980 is then examined,
followed by a summary of four major problem areas revealed
at the 35 districts which were not in full compliance:
failure to conduct workforce analyses; failure to identify
district employment goals; failure to establish affirmative
action advisory committees; and failure to provide adequate
staffing for affirmative action offices. The report then
examines changes in the percentages of positions held by
women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and American Indians from
1977 through 1979. For each group, employment trends are
examined in seven professional and non-professional
categories. The report concludes with an examination of the
role of the Chancellor's Office in securing district
compliance and with recommendations for further
legislation. Data for each district are appended. (JP)
