Affirmative action plan reviewed by Dykes
The new Affirmative Action Plan for the University of Kansas, the result of over two years of work by many University groups and individuals, is being reviewed by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and is expected to be approved next week.
The new plan will bring "no major changes" on the phone. Del Shakel, vice president of visual communication, said:
"We are committed to equal opportunity to every individual in the University community," he said. "The new plan is a challenge to these goals with a lot of added detail."
KU's original Affirmative Action Plan went into effect in February 1973.
"The original plan was good, but it needed an updating to bring it in line with many new University and federal policies," Shankel said.
FOR EXAMPLE, the original plan did not provide specifically for eliminating discrimination against the handicapped. The new plan will cover the handicapped.
The first draft of the new plan was made by the Affirmative Action Advisory Board. The board is comprised of vice chancellors for student affairs, Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic
affairs, Bonnie Ritter, Director of Affirmative Action, and Shankel.
It also went to a subcommittee of the Council of Deans, the Human Relations Committee and other University groups and committees. The groups submitted recommendations, and it was reviewed by Michael Davis, University general counsel.
Jeanette Johnson, assistant to Shankel, said a long time was needed to develop the plan because a wide range of ideas were asked for.
Whether the plan will provide homosexuals with protection against discrimination still is in question.

Dykes deleted sexual preference discrimination from the affirmative action grievance procedures, which were approved Aug.1.
The grievance procedures outline the steps to be taken, from mediation to formal arbitration. University employees, student or faculty members thinks he has been discriminated against.
If a homosexual thinks he has been discriminated against because of his sexual preference, he does not have access to this process.
Balfour, now the University Ombudsman,
have agreed to work with homosexuals if
sexual preference discrimination does
occur.
But the Office of Affirmative Action and
Todd Vantlanningham, Director of Gay Services of Kansas, has asked people to send letters to Dykes supporting inclusion of gay students in discrimination in the Affirmative Action Plan.
The Affirmative Action Board has recommended sexual preference be included in the plan in order to protect persons in abstraction because of their sexual preference.
