GOALS 200 OR QUOTAS 2000?
\doc\web\98\09\divreq.txt


Just found this gem hiding in US Goals 2000 legislation for
the national skills standards board. It has a "diversity" 
requirement that calls for proportional representation "to the 
extent possible".


http://inet.ed.gov/legislation/GOALS2000/TheAct/sec503.html
-There is established a National Skill Standards Board
(IV) Nongovernmental organizations with a demonstrated history of successfully protecting the
                    rights of racial, ethnic, or religious minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, or older
                    persons. 


     (2) DIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS.--The members described in subparagraph (G) of paragraph (1) shall have
     expertise in the area of education and training. The members described in subparagraphs (E), (F), and (G) of
     paragraph (1) shall-- 
          (A) in the aggregate, represent a broad cross-section of occupations and industries; and 
          (B) to the extent feasible, be geographically representative of the United States and reflect the racial, ethnic,
          and gender diversity of the United States.
