[[underline]] Equal Employment Opportunity Progress Report [[/underline]]

The following information is provided as a report of progress to date in carrying out the Smithsonian's plans for equal employment opportunity as described in the report transmitted to the Regents on this subject in August, 1975.

The Personnel Office is nowadvertising all vacancies, except those in which advertising is not required by regulations.  Temporary jobs of more than six months are also being advertised.  Further review is being made to work out practical procedures for advertising contract and grant jobs.  Contracts and grants are generally for a one-year period, and an advertising procedure which normally would take four to six weeks out of a one-year grant or contract is patently unreasonable.  Procedures must be developed so that the advertising of the vacancy would not unduly hinder the research project within its twelve-month time-frame.

Our mailing list of vacancies sent to minority colleges and organizations has been reviewed and expanded.

The performance evaluation policy about to be circulated for review and approval includes an evaluation of the EEO performance of all supervisory personnel.
