Our Affirmative Action Program, as mandated by Executive Order 11246, requires that the recruiting unit make vigorous good-faith efforts to recruit minorities and women for positions in which they are not represented to the extent they are deemed to be available in the pool of qualified persons. It must be understood that estimates of availability of minorities and women for specific positions are educated guesses. Ideally, we would expect that a good-faith recruitment effort designed to reach all qualified persons would result in an applicant pool and hiring results reflecting our availability estimates.
Quotas are illegal.
