Secretary Perdue is proposing to reorganize USDA civil rights offices--he's asking for comments on his proposal. Strikingly, he's allowing only until March 25 for comments to be received.
I've long since lost my grasp of how USDA is organized so I don't really understand what he's doing. One change seems to be giving each mission area (I think NRCS, FSA, RMA are now or will a mission area) one civil rights/EEO office. That would mean taking the Office of Civil Rights out of FSA and putting it at the Under Secretary level.
It seems he's also changing the department level office. Given what happened under Reagan I'd suspect it would have less power, but that's pure speculation.
