Affirmative Action

Policy:

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ formally declares its commitment to all laws mandating affirmative action and equal opportunity regulations, together with all valid state and federal regulations enacted pursuant thereto. The policy of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is to guarantee freedom from discrimination in its operation and administration of its programs, services, and employment practices; in its relationships with students, faculty, and staff; and in its interactions with the
community which it serves.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ endorses the intent of all federal and state laws created to prohibit discrimination.  ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex,  gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, veteran status, or disability in employment or application for employment, admissions, or the provision of services and provides, upon request, reasonable accommodation including auxiliary aids and services necessary to afford individuals with disabilities equal access to participate in all programs and activities.  

The policy of Affirmative Action is an on-going commitment. The policy of affirmative action is limited, in that the achievement of its objective removes the necessity of its existence. ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is committed to achieving the goals that have been established and published in the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Affirmative Action Plan. It should
also be known that this Affirmative Action Plan is an official policy of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ University.

Functions in connection with the evaluation and monitoring of the Affirmative Action Program of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ have been assigned to the Affirmative Action Committee by the President of the University. To this end, the Committee should have access to all records and on-going processes necessary to effectuate its responsibility. A description of the composition and specific duties of the Affirmative Action Committee is found in the
University Governance System policy.

Persons who wish to inspect the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Affirmative Action Plan or who seek other information concerning the Affirmative Action Program of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ should contact the Executive Director of the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Access, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, Murray, KY 42071.
