Attitudes of Faculty and Administrators Toward Affirmative Action in Higher Education; A Second Look.
Maca, Suanne D.
This dissertation investigated six indications of change regarding affirmative action efforts on the University of Texas at Austin campus since December, 1973. These indications of change were recorded in university personnel documents, EEO/AA Office records, and the results of a questionnaire submitted to the faculty and administrators of the university. The questionnaire surveyed the attitudes of these personnel in an effort to identify subgroups within the population holding different attitudes toward affirmative action programs and issues. The subgroups were categorized by sex, ethnic identification, level of employment, and area of employment. The results of this study indicate that change is occurring on this campus. Increases are documented in the hiring and advancement patterns of women and minorities, increased monthly activity is documented by the Affirmative Action Office, and recommendations to the President for expanded efforts by the university to meet executive order guidelines and to make good faith efforts are receiving attention and support.
