This article discusses how an economists' group brought forth policy adjustments on advertising issues. Since 1986 the association has banned advertisements in its newsletter, Job Openings for Economists, that discriminate "on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, sexual preference, or physical handicap." Facing rank-and-file discontent with a policy banning references to minority groups in job notices, the executive committee of the American Economic Association has voted to loosen the restrictions. The new policy's exact terms have not yet been set, but the association will now allow recruitment language that encourages applications from people who belong to underrepresented groups covered by federal civil-rights law. While the advertising issue appears to have found a resolution, another dispute is still simmering: Several small organizations that participate in the annual economics meeting are angry about plans to cut the number of panels they can offer in future years.
