Which option correctly identifies Executive Order 11246?

• A. Executive Order 10988.
• B. Executive Order 11375.
• C. Executive Order 11246.
• D. Vocational Rehabilitation Act.

Answer: (C)

This item tests your knowledge of which executive order governs equal employment opportunity and affirmative action for federal contractors. Executive Order 11246, signed in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, prohibits employment discrimination by federal contractors and subcontractors and requires affirmative action plans to promote equal opportunity for applicants and employees. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. An important related fact is that Executive Order 11375 amended EO 11246 to add protections against sex discrimination, but the original order establishing the program is EO 11246. The Vocational Rehabilitation Act is a separate statute focused on nondiscrimination and accessibility for individuals with disabilities in programs and employment, not the federal contractor affirmative-action framework. So the correct identification is Executive Order 11246.
