Attracting more full-time USC minority
faculty is the focus of a plan that has been
drafted by the administration and the Affirmative
Action Advisory Committee.
John Gardner, Affirmative Action Advisory
Committee chairman, said the new plan would
provide funds for three to five entry-level
faculty positions per year to colleges and
departments as an incentive to appoint
qualified minority applicants.
USC Provost Frank Borkwoski said the
Faculty Senate's Budget Committee approved
the funding provisions of the plan this past
week.
"We recommended that the university
should do as much as it can to attract highquality
minority faculty," said Keith Davis,
Budget Committee chairman. Davis said the

Gardner said.
Borkowski said he will also make a personal
effort to make minority-faculty recruiting a
top priority by becoming more involved in the
interviewing process. "I plan to interview
every black candidate brought to campus for a
position," he said.
Ed Hayes, president of the Black Faculty
and Professional Staff Association, said the
new plan was a very positive step in improving
the situation at USC.

need to do much, much more," said Hayes,
who is also an education professor.
But Hayes said other steps need to be taken
before true progress can be made in bringing
black faculty to USC.
"I think that it is very essential that we examine
some of our basic assumptions with
regards to recruiting black faculty," he said.
"We make such assumptions as we can't find
them. If we examine the assumption that we
can't find them or we can't attract them, this
just does not hold water.
"This is a university with a national and international
