...JONES TO DIRECT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. . .Rindetta Jones, an adviser to the Educational
Opportunities Program and a part-time instructor at Central Washington State College,
has been named Evergreen's Affirmative Action Officer. The appointment, effective
March 1, was announced at the February meeting of the Board of Trustees by President
Charles J. McCann. It carries with it primary responsibility for developing and implementing programs to insure elimination of discriminatory conditions with regard to
race, sex, creed, age, national origin and physical disability and programs for any
additional affirmative action efforts needed.
Ms. Jones, 38, has a bachelor of arts degree in psychology and sociology from
Central and has worked for Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone, Battelle Northwest of Richland and the Computer Science Corporation. She replaces W. Joe White, who resigned
affective January 31.
...TRUSTEES APPROVE REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY... The Evergreen Board of Trustees approved
what may be a unique reduction in force policy at its February meeting. The policy,
requested by the governor of all state colleges and universities, is the first policy
in the state which does not use seniority as the primary guideline for reducing faculty
in cases of financial exigency. Instead, faculty would be individually evaluated by
an elected faculty review panel and selected to remain on the basis of their ability
to contribute to the academic mission of the college.
The document establishes "the survival of Evergreen's ability to pursue its goals
as a learning community" as its primary objective and seeks to "provide the maximum
notice to those persons affected." The document received applause from President
Charles McCann for its innovation and was approved by the Board unanimously.
