[IPAC-List] Validating High School Diplomas and GEDs as a Minimum Qualification

[Blair, Michael [HR]]

Nathan -

Two resources you should look at:

(1) Eric Prien has co-authored several papers/presentations on validating MQs for selection.  I believe Eric is still in the Memphis area (his company - PMA - is still listed, but it may have been pass to Bloom by now).

(2) 2005 Personnel Psych article by Buster, Roth, and Bobko builds on Eric's and other's work on defensible methods to establish MQs.  In fact, the article describes the approach used by the state of Alabama that was approved for use in Federal court.  The title of the article is: "A PROCESS FOR CONTENT VALIDATION OF
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCED-BASED MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: AN APPROACH RESULTING IN FEDERAL COURT APPROVAL"

I have used a variant of these procedures successfully for 10+ years.

Can anyone share what methods they have used to validate the use of a High School Diploma or GED as  Minimum Qualification in a legally defensible way?



Thanks,
