(1) Where union contracts are being negotiated, institutions should ensure that layoff, retrenchment, or nonrenewal provisions include a statement that these provisions will be administered to the extent permitted by state or federal law so as to minimize or avoid any disproportionate adverse impact of minority or female or handicapped employees, and any detrimental effect on affirmative action gains which have been made.
(2) Whether or not such a statement is included in the union contract, if any, the employer shall take all reasonable efforts to ensure that retrenchment, layoff, or nonrenewal decisions minimize or avoid any disproportionate adverse impact on women, minorities, and handicapped employees.
