[IPAC-List] Question re: MQs

[Bryan Baldwin]

No, I don't believe so.  "Merit" in this sense refers to the decades-old concept that was put in place to remedy/avoid historical civil service sins such as political patronage.  It does, however, encompass the concept of being "qualified".

Bryan - what do you mean by merit-related? would that correspond to job-related?

Hi all - question sorta related to a conversation we were having a few weeks ago: can anyone point me to any articles, studies, etc. that analyze the issue of whether minimum qualifications are merit-related?  I have done my best to point out that I believe they are-at best-a blunt instrument.   But I could sure use more heads on this one.

Thank you-
