    materials/documentation needed at the time of the review conference. • Begin review with meeting of total county Extension staff, support staff, and District Extension Ad

    1. Conduct orientation: * Introduction/Purpose * Benefits of compliance review and program review * Emphasize that this is a "Program Review" and that as a part of the program review you will be

    looking at compliance with civil rights and affirmative action guidelines.

    2. Administer questions on "Terms and Terminology" for staff to answer in writing; review answers. 3. Orientation Points to Emphasize:

    * Relate Smith‐Lever Act of 1914 to Civil Rights Compliance. * This is an "in‐house" review. * Opportunity to help staff is greater if there is an open and honest discussion with agents & staff * Program review is a "fact finding" day followed by exit conference to review strengths and

    weaknesses of operations and program development. * A written report will be provided by DEA to county staff, within six weeks of date of review.

    Required elements for the written findings and recommendations report include: (1) the date of DEAs written report of findings and recommendations; (2) the date compliance review was conducted at the county; (3) the following language: “The ‘And Justice for All’ poster was displayed in the office

    or in a notebook containing all employment posters;” (4) the following language: “Official documents related to civil rights and affirmative

    action are on file, or can be referenced by staff on electronic files contained on an office computer or on the AgriLife Extension employee website;” and,

    (5) the due date for the county response outlining what corrections were made, with the due date being set on or before 6 months from the date of compliance review.

    * Audits/reviews should be positive but may involve some negative findings. * County faculty and DEAs are expected to follow up on recommendations and submit report to

    DEA/Associate Director County Programs within six months of date of compliance review. 4. Faculty members briefly describe the previous year’s programs, highlighting successes, and impacts

    of programs. 5. Excuse Support Staff Members

    6. Interview total faculty (excluding secretaries), using interview questions provided in the document.

    7. Interview each faculty member using appropriate instrument segments on "Program Development."

    8. Examine documentation and records on file (as indicated in instrument).

    Within six weeks of date of review

    BENEFITS OF EXTENSION PROGRAM AND COMPLIANCE REVIEW

    1. Provides additional means of program evaluation to determine whether needs of clientele, including

    minorities, are being met.

    2. Provides for more readily available information on service to minority groups to respond to special and regular reports and requests.

    3. Encourages staff to develop new programs, methods and techniques to reach under served audiences.

    4. Meets the laws, regulations and policies requiring reviews.

    5. Avoids problems of investigation and/or complaints associated with legal noncompliance, if alleged by outside groups/individuals.

    6. Brings staff to a better understanding of the need for documentation and records.

    7. Provides a basis for improving personnel and program management methods; provides benchmark data on

    which to measure progress.

    8. Increases staff awareness of managerial responsibilities in areas of employee supervision, training and career development.

    9. Documents information for Director and state supervisory and administrative staff; reduces possibility of

    misinformation and or lack of communication.

    10. Enables county staff to be more knowledgeable of laws, rules and regulations and facilitates their "indoctrination" of planning groups, organizations, lay leaders, governing bodies, legislators and others involved in cooperative working relationships.

    11. Uncovers areas in which Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service rules and procedures on civil rights and equal employment opportunity matters need to be reemphasized, strengthened, incorporated into written policies and procedures, and/or disseminated to staff and other appropriate persons.

    12. Facilitates preparation of county and State annual program plans in terms of staff‐time statistical data, as well as narratives called for to fulfill specific civil rights and EEO requirements.

    DEFINITIONS

    a. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifies that no person in the U.S. shall, on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

    b. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. States that the policy of the U.S. Government is to provide equal opportunity in employment for all persons; to prohibit discrimination in employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; and to promote equal opportunity through affirmative action in each Federal department and agency. Equal opportunity must be an integral part of personnel policy and practice including employment selection, training, advancement and treatment. This title also provides the basis for prohibiting sexual harassment at employment‐related locations and functions.

    c. "All reasonable efforts." A set of procedures required to be used and their documentation kept to demonstrate that federally funded programs or activities have been made available to the maximum possible potential audience of a given locale or area. The minimum reasonable effort required by County Extension staff members includes all items listed as follows:

    1. Use of all available mass media, including radio, newspaper and television, to inform potential recipients of the program and of opportunity to participate.

    2. Personal letters, e‐mails, and circulars addressed to defined potential recipients inviting them to

    participate, including dates and places of meetings or other planned activities.

    3. Personal visits by the County Extension staff member(s) to a representative number of defined potential recipients in the geographically defined area to encourage participation.

    d. "Adequate public notification." Public notification plans are a part of the delivery mode in the affirmative action goals related to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Public notification plans ask each agency or organization to use the most diversified possible communications to attract persons of all races, colors, religions, genders, and national origins to participate in programs or activities funded wholly or in part by Federal resources. Examples would include posters, flyers, minority organization bulletin board notices, utility bill inserts, or other public mailings. Using nondiscriminatory statements, photos, and graphics to convey the message of equal opportunity in informational material released to the public. Using sex‐neutral language‐‐‐elimination of sex discrimination, sex bias, and sex‐stereotype language from materials used in educational programs.

    e. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The specific purposes of Title IX are to prohibit discrimination against individuals in federally‐funded programs or activities, and in every aspect of employment because of their gender. Title IX provisions include prohibitions against male/female job‐related stereotyping, sexual harassment, unequal opportunities for training, advancement and other benefits of employment.

    f. Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Title I states that no entity shall discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability because of the individual's disability in regard to job application procedures, hiring, advancement, discharge, compensation, training and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment.

    Title II of the Act states that no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be

  • 4

    excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity.

    A "qualified individual with a disability" is any individual with a disability who, with or without reasonable modifications to rules, policies or practices; the removal of architectural, communication or transportation barriers; or the provision of auxiliary aids and services, meets the essential eligibility requirements for employment, receipt of services or participation in programs or activities provided by a public entity.

    g. Affirmative Action. Affirmative action is those positive and deliberate actions taken to involve all audiences in educational programs and the targeting of minority audiences following the guidelines of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The spirit of affirmative action is to be proactive; to include in planning of all educational programs the steps necessary to make those programs available and accessible by all potential audiences.

    Racial/Ethnic Categories

    • White, not of Hispanic origin ‐ a person having origins in any of the original people of Europe, North Africa or the Middle East.

    • Hispanic ‐ a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central American, South American or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

    • Asian or Pacific Islander ‐ a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East:

    Additional sub‐categories based on national origin or primary language spoken may be used where appropriate, on either a national or a regional basis.

    Racial‐ethnic designations do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. A program participant may be included in the group to which he/she appears to belong, identifies with, or is regarded in the community as belonging to.
