In my opinion, it's not appropriate, but a lot of things they do are also not appropriate. When I was a Federal employee, the EEO system had way too much control over employment decisions. If you were a supervisor and needed to fill a job opening, the EEO Officer actually had more decision making power about who you hired than you did. Finding the best person for the job was secondary. And, the supervisors in my office always gave every employee the highest performance rating available, because, if they didn't, they would be tied up for months defending an EEO complaint.
