The purpose of this study was to design an objective-based
Anonymous Screening Process (ASP) for selecting the
most qualified finalists for non-tenured administrative
employment searches in public higher education. The intent
was to design a viable employment process that substantially
meets equal opportunity mandates, the dual aim of the
Federal government's affirmative action efforts to eliminate
the discriminatory effects of the past and to bar future
discrimination, and the goal of the U.S. Congress of
improving the economic status of disabled individuals by
removing discriminatory barriers to full employment.
An anonymous screening process is part of a
comprehensive employment process, including recruitment,
application, evaluation, and selection, wherein an
applicant's name, race, religion, color, sex, age, handicap,
and institutional identify are unknown to all persons
involved in the process through selection of the most
qualified finalists.
An anonymous applicant screening process will minimize
evaluator bias, effectively eliminate the interjection of
non-objective criteria from external sources in selecting
the most qualified finalists, and provide a defensible basis
for using protected class status in the final selection as
an additional criterion in situations of
underrepresentation. / Graduation date: 1992
