Equal Opportunity/ADA Office of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Records, 1965-2006

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/uars/ead/40029.html

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill put its first affirmative action plan into effect 1 July 1973. In September of that year, the chancellor appointed an affirmative action officer and advisory committee. Douglass Hunt, who served as the first affirmative action officer, was also vice chancellor for administration. There was no full-time officer or separate Affirmative Action Office until January 1981. In November 1995, the name of the office was changed to Equal Opportunity/ADA Office. The affirmative action officer reports directly to the chancellor. Most of these records are from Douglass Hunt's tenure as affirmative action officer (1973-1981) and as compliance officer for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (1977-1986). They provide considerable documentation of the university's efforts to comply with federal regulations prohibiting discrimination in employment and access to programs. Many of the records relate to the development of affirmative action plans. Included are numerous drafts of the plans, as well as supporting data and supplementary reports. In addition, there are affirmative action statements, which are the official reports of searches for faculty and administrative positions, for the period 1973-2006. There are also files pertaining to complaints of discrimination and inequities and files pertaining to the accessibility of buildings and programs for persons with disabilities. A number of files include correspondence with the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the United States Department of Labor, and other federal agencies.
