Craig Leen's performance as OFCCP's director has
generally received high marks from the federal contractor
community. Although the agency under Director Leen became
much more aggressive with regard to some of its enforcement
efforts, Leen's focus on transparency, certainty, efficiency,
and recognition represented a significant change in the
agency's approach and substantially improved relationships with
employers, while at the same time resulting in record recoveries
for alleged victims of discrimination in the workplace.
Accordingly, contractors have a significant interest in the
White House's February 3, 2020 announcement that the president will be
nominating Director Leen for the position of inspector general at
the Office of Personnel Management.
