Affirmative Action
Indiana State University has long been pledged to the principles of nondiscrimination and is firmly and unequivocally committed to the creation of a culturally diverse community among and between its faculty, staff, and students. Diversity within the University community advances the academic purpose of the University, and a nondiscrimination policy is essential to achieving such diversity. Our expectation is that the University will do more than merely comply with civil rights legislation and enactments.
The
Office of Affirmative Action is responsible for carrying out Indiana
State University’s commitment to preventing discrimination on the basis
of sex, race, age, national origin, sexual orientation, religion,
disability or veteran status, against any of its employees, students or
invited guests.
In
preventing discrimination, this office strives to not only promptly
respond to complaints of discrimination; including harassment, but to
provide the ISU community with proactive tools that eliminate potential
harm and prevent workplace disruption.
This
office executes the following compliance-based responsibilities:
-
Provides leadership in
supporting and enhancing campus diversity through an
inclusive community.
-
Investigates complaints of
discrimination prohibited under law.
-
Supplies resources and training
in employment discrimination prevention.
-
Develops the overall strategy
and vision; including goals and programs designed to
increase and support affirmative action.
-
Coordinates and monitors
programs related to increasing and maintaining
diversity.
-
Evaluates all aspects of the
University’s employment practices; including, hiring,
development, promotion, and retention data; to assess
the workforce composition and identify areas where
greater diversity is beneficial.
The
Office of Affirmative Action is also the University’s clearinghouse for
resources on equal employment opportunity and affirmative action.
Although the Office Affirmative Action is primarily responsible for the
overall compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations
regarding nondiscrimination, ensuring that affirmative action and equal
opportunity is provided and available to the Indiana State University
community requires a commitment to these responsibilities by the
students, faculty and staff of this University pursuant to its mission
and values.
