ADL: Colleges, HEW Discriminate
in Their Affirmative Action Programs
WASHINGTON—The Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith has charged the U.S.
Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare with
"allowing reverse discrimi-
nation to continue spreading
unchecked, in violation of its
obligations under law."
Testifying before the House
of Representatives' special
subcommittee on education
last week, Bernard A. Kut-
tner, chairman of ADL's na-
tional discriminations corn-
snitman's leisure suits are beauts
Although you play in your leisure suits,
at Shifman's we take our leisure
suits very seriously. So seriously,
we stock the best. This Pierre
Cardin, for instance. It's a corduroy.
Looks like a million and
fits like only a Cardin can.
The price is just $115.
Of course, Pierre Cardin isn't for
everyone, but Shifman's is. And that's
another reason we take our leisure

mittee, said that "many peo-
ple are being denied their
legal rights and — unlike
victims of 'traditional' kinds
of discrimination—are being
deprived of government aid
to redress these wrongs."
Until August 1972, when
ADL began filing complaints
with HEW of preferential
treatment and racial quotas
in college admissions and
employment practices, he
said, the federal agency
"gave no indication that it
was at all concerned about
its fundamental responsibil-
ity to correct the problem
which it had helped create.
HEW's performance since
then has not been much bet-
ter."
Kuttner said, "The more
than 100 pattern and practice
cases which we reported
existing in post-secondary
education institutions have
injured thousands of vic-
tims."
"Why it took 10 months to
answer these complaints is
particularly difficult to un-
derstand, since the cases in-
volved no complex questions
of law and required no ex-
tensive factual investiga-
tions," he said.
Of the more than 100 ADL
complaints, 34 related to
_preferential treatment in ad-
missions to undergraduate,
graduate and professional
schools. These included nu-
merous documented instances
of outright racial and ethnic
admission quotas, Kuttner
said,
"As of today, more than
two years after the first com-
plaint of preferential admis-
sion was presented to HEW,
no response of any sort has
been received . . . with re-
spect to these 34 instances,"
he said.
Kuttner further charged
that HEW is "applying a
double standard," requiring
reverse discrimination com-
plainants to document their
complaints to a degree not
expected of other discrim-
ination complainants.
"We believe that HEW is
unfairly requiring those who
complain of reverse discrim-
ination to do investigatory
work which is properly the
role of the government in
these instances."
Citing cases where there
are written documents in
which university hiring offi-
cials actually announced a
discriminatory hiring policy,
Kuttner said "HEW contents
itself with a mere admoni-
tion to the violator."
He added, "there is no in-
dication that any formal pro-
cedure for monitoring the
future behavior of the erring
hiring officials has been es-
tablished" by HEW.
Kuttner also cited ADL's
"sharp disagreement" with
HEW "as to the legality and
propriety of collecting racial
and ethnic data in conjunc-
tion with monitoring univer-
sity employment and enroll-
ment for possible civil rights
violations."
He said "the risk of misuse
of this data" by the univer-
sity is "so great" that a uni-
versity "should not be per-
mitted to maintain individual
personnel files relating to
rates of pay, promotions and
other personnel matters in
which employes are identi-
fied by race and ethnic
origins."
Kuttner called for either
the deletion of HEW pro-
visions which give special
consideration or that "they
be issued with instructions
against their usage for pre-
ferential treatment, reverse
discrimination or implement-
ing numerical goals as if
they were quotas."
ADL, he said, further
recommends that "questions
as to race, color, ethnicity,
nativity or religion do not
appear on application forms,
and that individuals are at
no time required to identify
themselves by any of the
foregoing, except anony-
mously."
The ADL, he said, "seeks
no special favors for any
group. We advocate equal
opportunity for all Ameri-
cans."

JERUSALEM — The cele-
brated "recurator" at the
Jewish National and Univer-
sity Library.— the device for
restoring old manuscripts —
has a new home.
The department of restora-
tion has inaugurated new
quarters on Hebrew Univer-
sity's Givat Ram campus.
A five-room suite houses
the recurator and other
equipment and will enable
the restoration department to
speed up and enlarge its op-
erations. According to de-
partment head Esther Alka-
lay, these include the world's
most advanced methods of
mending antique paper and
vellum.
The recurator, invented by
Mrs. Alkalay, strengthens
and patches crumbling paper
with overlapping its existing
parts, in a matter of mom-
ents.
Recently restored was a

The library also acquired
a vacuum fumigating ma-
chine for disinfecting books.
Insects and mold are a seri-

them is the first step in res-

on an ethyl oxide and freon
gas mixture.

people from its very begin-
nings to the present."
