Government shuts off UC Berkeley's money
W A S H IN G T O N

Labor
Secretary Ray Marshall has issued
an order debarring the University o f
California at Berkeley from doing
any government business unless it
provides within 30 days employment
records needed in a jo b bias in ­
vestigation.
The action is based on the univer­
sity’ s refusal to permit copying and
rem oval o f certain records that
could
co n firm
evidence
of
d iscrim in a tio n in re cru itin g and
selecting faculty members in several
departments, said Donald Elisburg,
assistant secretary for employment
standards.
The dispute results fro m the
university’ s refusal to release faculty
review documents, and to allow
notes already taken by federal in­
vestigators to be removed from the
Berkeley campus.
The investigators had found in­
dications
of
em ploym ent
discrimination.
A ccording to E lisburg, the
university’ s action prevented the-
departm ent’ s O ffic e o f Federal
C ontract Com pliance Programs
(OFCCP), and a former compliance
agency (the Department o f Health,
Education and W elfare) from
verifying whether hiring standards
were applied fairly by race and sex.
The university initially refused to
allow fu ll access to records and
notes, stating that it would subject
co n fid e n tia l
in fo rm a tio n
to
disclosure under the Freedom of In­
formation Act.
Later, it allowed access, but did
not allow copies o f records to be
made or notes to be taken o ff cam­
pus for analysis.
While M arshall’ s order requires
the university to provide these
documents, it also requires the need
to protect the faculty review process
from invasion o f privacy, said
Elisburg.
“ The department does not seek to
underm ine
the
peer
review
process,’'’
he
pointed
out.
“ However, we have to determine if
there are deficiencies in the univer­
sity’ s hiring process.”
As a federal co n tra cto r, the
university is required not to
discriminate because o f race, sex,
c o lo r, re lig io n , national o rig in ,
handicap or veterans’ status. It also
must take steps to employ and ad­
vance qualified women, minorities,
disabled persons and veterans.
The requirements are enforced by
OFCCP under Executive Order
11246 and two other laws.
According to OFCCP Director
Weldon J. Rougeau, a review o f the
university was begun in March 1978
prior to renewal o f a S I.5 m illion
contract with the Navy Department
to continue biological research. The
Berkeley campus’ to ta l federal
business amounts to at least $25
million.
Under the executive order, con­
tractors with individual awards o f
SI m illio n are subject to “ pre­
award” reviews o f their EEO and
affirmative action efforts.

The university's continued refusal
to cooperate in the review resulted
in an a dm inistrative com plaint
being filed against it in June 1978.
The campus employes about
15,000 persons, including about
6,000 faculty. O f tenured faculty,
about 7 percent are minorities and 9
percent are women.
Rougeau noted that the Univer
sity of California, Berkeley depart
ment is the 26th such action against
a federal contractor, with half o f
these within the past three years. He
