There is little awareness of sex discrimination throughout the nation. The words “sexism” and “sexist” have not yet been invented, nor the words “sexual harassment” or “date rape.” Even the words “sex discrimination” have only just entered the lexicon with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. There is not much interest in women’s issues except from a few women, a few small women’s groups, and a few men of good will, and some negative members of the press.

  • Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors
    Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors Vanessa K. Burrows Legislative Attorney Kate M. Manuel Legislative Attorney June 14, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41866 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors Summary Executive orders requiring agencies to impose certain conditions on federal contractors as terms of their contracts have raised questions about presidential authority to issue such orders. Recently, the Obama Administration circulated, but did not issue, a draft executive order directing “every contracting department and agency” to require contractors to “disclose certain political contributions and expenditures.” The draft order cites the President’s constitutional authority, as well as his authority pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (FPASA), which authorizes the President to prescribe any policies or directives that he considers necessary to promote “economy” or “efficiency” in federal procurement. The draft executive order refers to FPASA’s goals in that it directs actions “to ensure the integrity of the federal contracting system in order to produce the most economical and efficient results for the American people.” The draft order has been characterized by some as an “abuse of executive branch authority” because it resembles the Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act that the 111th Congress considered, but did not pass. If issued, the draft order may face legal challenge. The outcome of legal challenges to particular executive orders pertaining to federal contractors generally depends upon the authority under which the order was issued and whether the order is consistent with or conflicts with other statutes.

  • The Federal Anti-Bias Effort
    Upjohn Institute Press The Federal Anti-Bias Effort Jonathan S. Leonard University of California Chapter 6 (pp. 85-113) in: Essays on the Economics of Discrimination Emily P. Hoffman, ed. Kalamazoo, MI: W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, 1991 DOI: 10.17848/9780585255859.ch6 Copyright ©1991. W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. All rights reserved. The Federal Anti-Bias Effort Jonathan S. Leonard University of California Affirmative action under the federal contract compliance program (Ex ecutive Order 11246 as amended) is a policy that, at times, has promoted modest employment advances for minorities, but always at the cost of great social discord. To its proponents, affirmative action is both equitable and efficient. To its critics, it is neither. Federal affirmative action may be modeled as a tax on white male employment in contractor firms, and so can be analyzed in the standard two-sector models applied to unionization or taxation (Leonard 1984a). A controversial question is whether this tax improves or reduces effi ciency. Some proponents of affirmative action advocate it for equity reasons, arguing for retribution for past wrongs such as slavery, or for an investment in future social peace and cohesion. Increased equity may also improve efficiency by counterbalancing discrimination. In Decker©s model of discrimination, for example, an affirmative action tax forces employers towards the efficient use of labor (Leonard 1984c). The two questions to be asked of affirmative action are first, whether it has in creased minority and female employment, and second (and more dif ficult), whether this has induced or reduced discrimination. The purpose and development of affirmative action cannot be fully understood outside of history, a history that includes most saliently the institution of slavery in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth century.
