Affirmative Action

The affirmative action council provides advice to the President in the formation and operation of programs and activities to assure that equal opportunities in employment and for access to and participation in the activities of the university are without discrimination based on race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability; and the commitment to the objectives of affirmative action, equal opportunity, and non-discrimination in accordance with state and federal law, are communicated effectively to members of the university community and the public at large.

The council will include at least a member of the faculty, a career service employee, a student, and an exempt employee. The Faculty Senate, Career Service Advisory Council, Exempt Employees Advisory Council, Student Association, and the University Cabinet are invited to nominate persons to serve on this Council. The affirmative action officer is an ex-officio member of the committee. The President will select the chair.
