Resolution Regarding Adam's Mark Hotel Chain
WHEREAS
it is the policy of the Society of American Archivists:
"Because
discrimination and unequal treatment are inimical to the Society's goals,
SAA hereby declares that discrimination on the grounds of race, color,
creed, gender, national origin, age, marital status, family relationship,
individual life style, and disability is prohibited within the Society.
SAA will vigorously pursue a policy of non-discrimination and equal
opportunity
through its programs, activities, services, operations, employment, and
business contracts." (Approved by Council, January 1992)
WHEREAS
the Adam's Mark hotel chain has been charged by the U.S. Department of
Justice with engaging in a pattern of discrimination against minorities
in their hotels;
THEREFORE
the Society of American Archivists resolves that if either the Adam's
Mark fails to reach a corrective settlement with the Department of Justice
or is found guilty of discrimination, the Society will refrain from conducting
any of its future activities on the properties of the Adam's Mark Hotel
chain.
Approved
by the Council of the Society of American Archivists, January 30, 2000
