Despite the fact that the institution has never had a policy of racial discrimination in hiring and admission procedures, the University of South Florida (USF) was one of the first institutions of higher education in the southeast to adopt an affirmative action plan. This revised edition of the program contains: a description of the Equal Opportunity Policy; the Equal Opportunity Committee; and identification of those University officials responsible for its implementation. Identification of the problem areas and the need for affirmative action is also covered. A plan for affirmative action is included with timetables, goals, and action programs. Appendices include: contract forms; organizational charts; minority recruitment efforts; and hiring goals. Materials submitted to the Office of Civil Rights (HEW) are also included. (Author/PG)
