Highlights

GAO reviewed the affirmative action programs within the Department of Justice and each of its seven bureaus for the period from July 1974 through September 1978. Attention was focused on the practices affecting the structure and implementation of the affirmative action programs; employment recruitment, selection, promotion, training, and assignment; and the discrimination complaint process. This is a final report discussing the following aspects of the equal employment opportunity affirmative action programs: attitudes and perceptions involving women and minorities; salary differentials for employees; the model developed to forecast Justice's equal employment opportunity profile; Justice-wide improvements needed in equal employment opportunity programs; and improvements needed in the discrimination complaint system.
