The person in this position was given additional duties effective early in the summer of 2004, to handle Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. The Coordinator's title was changed to Coordinator for Judicial Affairs and Equal Opportunity as of May 17, 2004, and as of that date the individual in that position does two unrelated jobs.
