Report: Justice Dept. Faces Internal Diversity Problem

HeadlineOct 31, 2003

The Justice Department has been attempting to keep secret an internal report that harshly criticizes the department’s efforts to maintain a diverse workplace. The Department, which is headed by John Ashcroft, originally posted the 186-page report on its website two weeks ago but about half of the pages were blacked out. Now a computer specialist has been able to manipulate the online document in order to read the blacked out sections and it reveals the department faces many problems. The censored part of the report concluded “The department does face significant diversity issues… Minorities are significantly more likely than white to cite stereotyping, harassment and racial tension as characteristics of the work climate.” The entire report can be read at the website memoryhole.org
