handle is hein.gao/gaobaaloq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G ~GAO Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States General Accounting Office General Govermnent Division Washington, D.C. 20548 B-285153 April 21, 2000 The Honorable Joe Scarborough Chairman, Subcommittee on Civil Service Committee on Government Reform House of Representatives Subject: Equal Employment Opportunity: Responses to Questions Related to Equal Employment Opportunity and Dispute Resolution Issues Dear Mr. Chairman: On March 29, 2000, we testified at an oversight hearing the Subcommittee held on the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint process for federal employees.! This letter responds to your request of April 7, 2000, in which you raised additional questions about EEO and dispute resolution issues. To respond to these questions, in addition to drawing upon our body of knowledge, we primarily reviewed (1) data published by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and (2) data from OPM's Central Personnel Data File (CPDF) on civilian federal employees. We performed our work in April 2000 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Because our work was based primarily on publicly available reports and testimonies, including our own previously published reports, we did not seek agency comment on a draft of this report. Our responses to the questions that you asked follow. Question 1. Please provide the Subcommittee with information that either substantiates or refutes the contention that minorities are placed in positions that are dead end employment tracks. GAO has not done any work that specifically addresses this question. However, we reviewed data published by OPM and EEOC about the representation of minorities in the federal GAO/GGD-00-123R EEO Complaint Process Equal Employment Opportunity: Discrimination Complaint Caseloads and Underlying Causes Require EEOC's Sustained Attention (GAO/T-GGD-00-104, Mar. 29, 2000).
