An Inclusive Litany
6/8/98
The Food and Drug Administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Handbook
states: "The common requirement for 'knowledge of the rules of
grammar' and 'ability to spell accurately' in secretarial job
descriptions," should be eliminated because it may impede the hiring
of "underrepresented groups." Also, job interviews that "judge
highly subjective traits such as motivation, ambition, maturity,
personality and neatness" should be eliminated.
