The collection documents affirmative action planning at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). The records largely consist of affirmative action plans, goals and timetables, and reports. Recruitment of minorities and women was a priority for the Equal Opportunity Office (EOO), and the collection has a large amount of materials on their availability and recruiting. The program manual and files on policies and guidelines detail legislation and procedures for handling gender and racial discrimination cases, filing grievances, and academic staff hiring. The numerous affirmative action reports detail how well UWM met its hiring goals for academic staff and faculty. There are records on the Ad Hoc Committee for the Status of Academic Women, the Advisory Committee for Disabled Students, Minority and Disadvantaged Students Task Force on Planning, and the Wisconsin Task Force on Equal Education Opportunities. The collection also contains correspondence and memos from the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor concerning affirmative action. The files on individual offices and departments contain information on their goals, timetables, and results in reaching affirmative action quotas. The final report of the Search and Screen Committee for the Assistant Chancellor for Equal Opportunity, which is not restricted, contains questions asked of the candidates and describes how the final selection was made.
