that is well represented in financial services ?
.
But you already knew that, didn’t you?
Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion are present in many Federal departments; this provision adds them to those Federal agencies addressed by the financial reform bill.
In the Federal financial sector, perhaps 35% of the workforce is female (compared to 45% in the general Federal workforce, and 50.8% of the population). Similarly, perhaps 18.4% of Federal financial employees are minorities, compared to 30.2% in the Federal workforce and 34.6% of the population.
It is apparent that women and minorities still face large hurdles in the Federal financial sector; these new offices will work with the heads of the agencies to develop policies designed to ensure that women and minorities are not unfairly excluded from hiring, contracting, etc. “Good-faith effort” is a well-defined term, contrary to the negative article you posted; it means that, where resources exist and are competitive, those resources are considered in the decision-making process (e.g. RFQs go out to minority and women-owned contractors if they meet the capabilities required by a job).
(sources: Congresswoman Maxine Waters press release on the amendment that included this provision in the House bill and the Wikipedia U.S. Demographics page.)

I’ve never heard of an “Office of Minority and Women Inclusion.” Is this something new ?
What Departments have one ?
This appears to combine advocacy for employment of those targeted groups with preference programs in contracting for those groups. In my dated experience, not a lot of overlap between these two areas. The Equal Opportunity part is historically an HR function, while the contracting preference programs are part of the Logistics/ Acquisition function.
Post-Adarand, the contracting arena shifted somewhat from “race” based preference programs to the HUB Zone preference designed by Kit Bond. Only DoD, NASA and the Coast Guard still have a “Small Disadvantaged Business” Preference Program. The 8(a) Program has been “diluted” so much that the qualifying social and economic disadvantage has even been expanded to include GLBT, in some cases.
.
Look up the term on the InterTubes – not only do many Federal government departments have one, but also State governments.
I can’t speak to the specifics of each of these offices – I’m sure each has differing rules and policies. Both the employment and contracting bits of this particular piece appear to be advocacy and oversight, not preference based.
… you said
How is this not simply a lie?
I think you need to return to posting nothing other than “I have a man-crush on Doug Bruce, who is like the persecuted Jesus of the tea party movement”…
