EEOC update –Paula Carns met with John regarding a report that came out in October 2016 stating the number of hires the Library has made and how many are minorities. The Library is doing better, but needs to continue to improve. The Office of Diversity, Equity and Access (ODEA) will continue to track these numbers for all units at the University. They are also interested in the number of hires of veterans and persons with disabilities.
