Affirmative Action: where is CCC? ¡tons note: This is the second in a series tides dealing with Affirmative Action Mow it applies to Clackamas Community M 1973, the full-time faculty at Clack- Community College consisted of 73 I earhing an average yearly wage of >330, and 40 women, earning an average of’$9,225. The faculty included two bers of minority races. The administra- was comprised of 23 men and two en - no minorities. / I By Joe McFercn Staff Writer IJ__________ I'he Ixffirmative Action Plan at CCC was ted in 1973, and runs to 24 pages. It is, in part: When taken in total, considering all Csified staff members, secretaries, custo ms and so forth, the actual balance be en men and women is fairly good. It feely ppproximates that of the national age. »'However, in administration, the balance msiaerably distant (eight percent women, J perse nt men) from the norm and the o'e is true in the certified instructional hf area (35 percent women, 65 percent a). I "Even though we have many women on 1 staff, the balance is far from approxi- :ely 49 percent - 51 percent which re mits the normal population distribution, /vever, in the instructor category, it does broach the balance of percentages of men 4 women who earn masters degrees - 276 [percent are earned by women and 053 percent by men. "It can be seen that the college has ¡749 percent women and 60.251 percent M onlemployment. The total county aver- is 50.852 percent women and 49.148 fcent men. Therefore, as has been men- ned, [the college has to work towards em- merit of additional minority* members ¡ ticularly in the administration area." The salary schedule for full-time faculty KC(S is divided into Level I and Level II, ■sed on education, experience, training, “Ils and ability. It is further divided into m steps of advancement per level, and ’ther separated depending on whether the ploye is to teach for a nine or twelve- r)nth®eriod. ■The [salary range throughout is $11,316 month, Level I, step 1) to $22,740 2 month. Level II, step 10).

If the current percentage gain for women and minorities is maintained, it seems a safe speculation that CCC should achieve an acceptable balance before the year 2000, except in the area of administration. In fairness, it should be said that the individuals involved in the Affirmative Ac tion Program at CCC seem dedicated to the concepts it embodies. Any plan is better than no plan at all, and the strong points of this one surely outnumber the faults. But when a program does not achieve the results it seemed initially to promise - someone should be asking "why?" ]?veli I, [12-month contr. .evel II, 12-month contr. $15,111.18 $18,224.60 0 0 — a Minority employment in the full-time acuity has increased from two, in 1973, to ■ive in 1976. fl Jlackamas Community College SURPRISE Title IX Affirmative Action and Title IX are so closely related and overlapping in the area of equal employment opportunity that it is sometimes difficult to determine where one leaves off and the other begins. Title IX directs itself specifically to sex discrimination in education. It required a self-evaluation to be completed by July 21, 1976. On Oct. 12, 1976, assurance was filed with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) that CCC expects to have a self-evaluation completed by June 30, 1977. The dispatch named Len Monroe, CCC Dean of Students, as Title IX coordin ator, and since that time a Title IX commit tee has been appointed. Because the self-study has not been com pleted, research data is not available for examination. A cursory investigation reveals that finan cial aid at CCC is administered on a 50/50 basis (dollar for dollar) between men and women. Athletic scholarships are provided for in the ratio of 35 men to 15 women, but the ramifications of this are not con clusive without data pertinent to the re quirements of the athletic department - and of prospective athletes. In an interview last week, Len Monroe was optimistic.
