CHAMPAIGN – The city of Champaign had success in hiring minorities during 2007, but saw some of those gains erased when a number of minority employees left city jobs, according to the city's affirmative action audit.
"We're hiring minorities at a higher rate than we are whites," said Chris Bezruki, the city's human resources director. "However, at the same time, we're losing minorities at a pretty rapid clip, so we need to focus on retention."
