Rights report criticizes Reagan for minority appointments
The U S Commission on Civil Rights said it was disappointed that President Reagan has not appointed more blacks women and Hispanic Americans to high level federal posts. The study covering 980 Reagan appointments and 1 182 Carter appointments notes a sharp drop in black appointments and lower minority representation. The commission plans to send a letter to Reagan while White House aides defend the record citing hundreds of minority appointees and key female officials including Justice Sandra Day O Connor and cabinet level figures.
