Chairpersons and recent hirees at the University of Kentucky were surveyed concerning their knowledge, opinions, and actual experiences with affirmative action guidelines. The responses of both groups suggested the utility of public advertising procedures but pointed toward the lack of clarity in the guidelines for other facets and decisions involved in the hiring process. Chairpersons and hirees varied widely concerning opinions about resentment of the guidelines, reverse discrimination, etc., but both groups generally agreed that affirmative action had made the job market more open. These results were discussed in light of the actual (small) number of women and minority persons hired at this university with the recommendation that greater emphasis be placed on factors involved in early career choice and success.
