ABSTRACT: Blacks' share of non-faculty jobs in Kentucky
institutions of higher education is examined in this second
in a two-part series on employment in the state university
system. The first report in this series was entitled "State
University Faculties Stuck on Tokenism in Kentucky."
Sections examine: tokenism in non-faculty jobs at state
universities; blacks in executive jobs; blacks in technical
and professional jobs; black percentage decline at white
universities; high-paying jobs and faculty tokenism; women
in the job market; and the effort of instltutions to
improve their employment policies for blacks. Tables
provide information on numbers and percentages of blacks
hired in various positions and employment figures on
females hired in various positions. Appendices cover
employees, by sex, race/ethnicity (1975 and 1977); and new
hirees for 1977 for the following positions: executive,
administrative and managerial; professional non-faculty;
technical and paraprofessional; secretarial and clerical;
skilled craft; service and maintenance. Among the many
conclusions drawn are the following: employment data show
remnants of the dual system of higher education once
legally sanctioned in Kentucky; Kentucky State employed 68
of the 143 black faculty in the state university system;
and blacks at the predominantly white institutions suffered
a 0.6 percent drop in their share of jobs from 1975 to
1977. (LC)
