Affirmative Action Office (University of Michigan) records, 1969 - 1993

39 linear feet — 1 oversize volume

Records of the administrative office responsible for developing and coordinating affirmative action programs for women, minorities and disabled faculty, staff, and students. Documentation includes topical files, minutes, reports, photographs and audio and video tapes. This record group also includes records of the Commission for Minority Affairs and the Commission for Women.

The records of the Affirmative Action Office span 1969 - 1993 and document the activities of the office and its predecessors, and provide information about affirmative action programs at the university and the status of minority, women, the disabled and other groups on campus. The records have come to the library in a number of accessions.

The Affirmative Action Office record group is organized into five subgroups: Affirmative Action Office, 1969 - 1993; Commission for Minority Affairs, 1971 - 1980; Commission for Women, 1970 - 1985; Council for Minority Concerns, 1979 - 1983; and Advisory Committee on Affirmative Action Programs, 1977 - 1986. The Affirmative Action Office subgroup includes records created or acquired by the Office. The other subgroups represent various university units that were merged into or whose function were taken over by the Affirmative Action Office.

1970-1978

The General Files for 1970-1978 include Availability Assessments, Compliance Program Reports, Goals and Timetables, and correspondence with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). Availability Assessments were projections of retirements, resignations, and new positions, and the pool of women and minorities available to fill these positions. These projections were used to set goals and the timetables for achieving them. Compliance Program Reports were compiled by the Affirmative Action Office from data gathered from all of the schools and departments.

Other significant files relate to the Hayes Study. Robert H. Hayes and Associates, an outside consulting firm, was hired to provide the university with improved systems for merit review, merit promotion and transfer, and to develop a comprehensive personnel compensation policy to cover professional and administrative employees. The Management Advisory Group made recommendations to the executive officers on professional and administrative plan implementation.
