In 1968 a theory of social equity was developed and put forward as
the "third pillar for public administration, with the same status
as economy and efficiency as values or principles to which public
administration should adhere. Considerable progress has been made
in social equity in the past 20 years. Theoretically, the works
ofRawls and Rae and associates provide a language and a road map
for understanding the complexity of the subject. The courts were
especially supportive of principles of social equity in the later
years of Chief Justice Earl Warren and during the years of Chief
Justice Warren Burger. The present period, marked by the leadership
of William Rehnquist, evidences a significant drawing back from the
earlier commitment to equity. The decisions of state courts, based
upon state constitutions and the common law, hold considerable
promise for advancing social equity principles. Scholarly research
demonstrates the belief of the American people in fairness,
justice, and equality and their recognition of the complexity of
the subject and their ambivalence toward competing claims for
equality. Research on public administration finds that bureaucratic
decision rules and the processes of policy implementation tend to
favor principles of social equity.
