Hoping for more diverse candidates, Hennepin County no longer requires master’s degree for its library director
By David Chanen JUNE 17, 2019 — 8:12 P.M.
State law for decades has placed the director of Hennepin County’s massive library system on the top shelf.
Lawmakers decided nearly 40 years ago that Hennepin should be the state’s only county where applicants for the top library job needed a master’s degree in library and information science.
But recent efforts to recruit a new Hennepin library director found the law resulted in a limited pool of candidates with little diversity.
So county officials asked legislators to strike the requirement and it passed with little controversy, save for objections from a group of librarians who feared the change would undercut the profession.
Their concerns were based on the demands visited upon the head of a large government department who oversees 41 branch libraries, 835 employees and an $88 million budget.
“We are not trying to take away the importance of the degree,” said Hennepin County Chief Human Resources Officer Michael Rossman. “But we felt very strongly, in the long run, that we want to find the best leader whether or not they have the degree.”
Hennepin County launched an extensive national search for an executive director, a position that Rossman compared to the head of a large company. A screening group of county administrators, library board members and Friends of the Library officials came up with a list of several candidates. But officials weren’t comfortable hiring any of them, and the search continues.
[They must have all been white.]
“We are trying to break down real or perceived barriers that might keep the best applicants from these positions,” Rossman said. “These type of barriers can stop people of color and diversity from ever getting a chance to interview.”
["the best" = non-white.
Qualifications have been transformed into "barriers."
They refuse to fill the position until an unqualified black or Hispanic comes along. My hunch is that they want to hire a Somali, but so far no Somali has applied.]
The law eliminating the degree requirement says that applicants should be qualified by education and that preference would be given to candidates with library experience.
[Such a job would previously have required years of experience as a librarian, but now “library experience” could mean a few months, or weeks, or days, as a college or high school library assistant.]
Most blacks don't read books or go to the library anyhow. What does this all matter if they have a white librarian.
ReplyDeleteIt would only be fair if Michael Rossman,the liberal retard-in-charge,would lose HIS job as well to a minority.
ReplyDeleteWhy should HE be exempt from his own anti-white hiring practices?The whites,who are implimenting the insane affirmative action hiring standards,must be shown the ramifications of their stupidity--let it come down on them too--as a deterrent to future white liberal idiots,that only see an assinine agenda,instead of reality.
If you don't hire qualified whites--for ANY JOB--you get nothing but reduced
quality--which depending on the job(certainly not county librarian),can be dangerous to the general public if the minority hiree wasn't educated/experienced enough for such work(and you know they aren't)
But that makes too much sense.
