The agency’s EEO program is so ineffective, says the MMTC that it should literally be suspended for three months, so it can be “revitalized.” The Minority Media & Telecom Council says the Commission’s EEO program “has no apparent mission, no focus, no data for evaluation, and no results.“ It issues the letter on the one-year anniversary of the last EEO enforcement action, and says the last time the FCC went a whole year without sanctioning any violators was in 1968 – when there wasn’t even an EEO policy. The Council’s David Honig says its own study of 20 markets “found that 40 out of 141 reporting units (28.4%) did not use minority sources” to recruit for openings. On the face of it, that’s surprising. Honig is particularly upset by the results from Riverside-San Bernardino, which is 52.5% African-American and Hispanic. Seven of the 14 reporting licensees there didn’t use a single minority source. The Council wants the FCC to consider its 10-step program, starting with “relocate the EEO staff from the Media Bureau to the Enforcement Bureau” and “triple the number of EEO enforcement staff.” The Council recommends quintupling the number of EEO audits, instead of the current target of 5% of licensees each year.
