Abstract

The dual purposes of this field study were to ascertain the legislative, court, and administrative rule requirements for equal employment opportunity and affirmative action for the newly created Illinois Vocational Student Services Network and to develop equal employment opportunity and affirmative action policies for the network. The findings of this field study are applicable to Educational Service Regions in the State of Illinois and projects, entities, or programs that utilize Educational Service Regions as fiscal agents. With minor modifications, the affirmative action policy could be utilized by school districts and other public agencies.

The study is divided into five major sections. The section entitled The Problem provides background material and states the problem and delineates the limitations of the study. The section entitled Review of Legislation, Administrative Rules and Court Cases reviews the sources as they impact equal employment opportunities and affirmative action policies. The section entitled Design of Study explains how the study was organized. The following section entitled Development of Necessary Policies and Procedures explains the necessity for each section, states the policy, and lists an implementation schedule. The final section, entitled Conclusion and Recommendations, draws upon the literature review to make specific recommendations.
