Affirmative Action in California's State Civil Service: Who is Really Underrepresented and Why
Submitted by Michael Lynch on 10.1.1996
The California state civil service has pursued policies of "affirmative action" for more than 25 years. In 1971, then Governor Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order (E.O.) No. R-34-71, which stated "justice demands that every citizen consciously adopt and accentuate a personal commitment to affirmative action which will make equal opportunity a reality." The legislature built on Reagan's E.O. in 1977, giving the State Personnel Board (SPB) responsibility for coordinating the state's affirmative action efforts and for assisting departments in setting hiring goals and timetables.
