EEO rulemaking
Article Abstract:
The US Supreme Court found parts of the Federal Communications Commission's equal opportunity employment regulations to be unconstitutional. The regulation requiring a mid term review to determine whether minorities in the broadcast stations' workforce proportionally represented minorities in the local labor force was returned by the Court for review. The ruling was that this requirement produced a preference for hiring minorities.
