§2734b Report on diversity recruitment, employment, retention, and promotion

Summary

The Secretary must oversee hiring, keeping, and promoting people from groups that have been underrepresented. The Department must run recruiting programs to find and keep highly qualified candidates from many schools and to expand outreach at minority-serving institutions. Within 180 days after December 16, 2016, and every four years after that, the Secretary must send Congress a detailed report, under existing law, describing what the Department has done to promote equal opportunity and inclusion for all American employees hired directly or under personal services contracts, especially those in the Foreign Service and other underrepresented minority groups.
