Affirmative action plans, 1982-[ongoing].

Reorganization of public higher education in 1980 required both the Board of Regents (MGLA c 15A, s 5), and individual institutional boards of trustees (s 10) to develop and implement affirmative action policies and programs. The Board of Regents has periodically required the state colleges to develop plan documents. The nine state colleges have responded by developing, in consortium, a state-college-system-wide plan (through the Council of State College Presidents) and then developing, individually, a local plan for each institution complementing the system-wide plan. At the Massachusetts College of Art, the process of creating the both plans consists of draft development by a committee of faculty, administrators, and students, and approval by the president and board of trustees. Series maintained by the president's office comprises affirmative action/equal opportunity plans developed for implementation at the college.
