HUNT VALLEY, Md., —
The reborn U.S. Civil Rights
Commission, steering in a new
conservative direction, over
turned a 3-year-old policy Tues
day and declared its opposition
to quotas as a way to make up for
race and sex discrimination.
On a 6-2 vote, the commis
sion issued a policy statement
condemning quota systems for
giving “preferential” treatment
to certain numbers of minorities
or women at the expense of “in
nocent third parties,” who get
passed over for jobs, promotions
or other benefits.
The action reverses a stand
taken by the Civil Rights Com
mission in 1981 in which it en
dorsed quotas as one method of
affirmative action. The vote cap
ped the anti-discrimination
panel’s first meeting since it was
reorganized under a comprom
ise forged between Congress
and the White House.
Congressional reaction to the
decision was quick and bitter,
with Rep. Don Edwards, chair
man of the House Judiciary civil
rights subcommittee, saying the
commission had made itself
“irrelevant” as a force in civil
rights.
Edwards, D-Calif., told re
porters in Washington the com
mission is “now a totally irrele
vant group of people because
they are anti-civil rights. They
are doing the bidding of the
White House.”
The two-day meeting public
ly exposed for the first time the
reorganized commission’s rejec
tion of certain traditional civil
rights goals and revealed high
tension among its eight board
members.
Commissioners Mary Berry
and Blandina Cardenas
Ramirez, liberal holdovers from
the previous commission who
President Reagan had tried to
fire, outspokenly dissented
from the board’s statement on
quotas and also on other com
mission actions.
Besides rejecting the concept
of quotas, the commission took
action to narrow its role as a
watchdog of the nation’s discri
mination practices.
It shied away from examin
ing certain topics, for example
by cancelling a study on Reagan

Firefighters tried to force

male co-worker, Don Fabian,
had warned others in the fire
