OFCCP Director Shiu Holds a Listening Session with AAAA

On September 8, 2011, AAAA participated in a listening session for members of the higher education community with OFCCP Director Patricia Shiu and other DOL staff. Organizer of the session, AAAA Member Marilyn Schuyler reports:

About 150 members of the academic community shared questions and
concerns with Director Shiu on Thursday, September 8, via conference
call. Representatives from the academic community discussed the
challenges they face in applying the OFCCP regulations in an academic
environment. As federal contractors, academic institutions are required to
comply with the same regulations as supply and service contractors, however, due
to the presence of student workers, issues of tenure, etc., academic
institutions often find it challenging to implement the regulations.
