New EEO Commission chief vows to curb hiring bias
Clifford L. Alexander Jr., 33, newly named EEO C chairman, cites the need to end subtle racial and ethnic hiring discrimination. He urges employers to recruit beyond familiar networks and small Negro colleges, expand complaint handling, seek cease and desist powers, and fund larger staff to push rapid changes. He credits his Harlem upbringing and elite education with understanding both slum and elite perspectives.
