Affirmative Action
NUMBER:
Policy IV-02 (Formerly Policy IV-A-02)
The School of Mines is
committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce. The School of Mines
is an equal opportunity employer who encourages all qualified candidates to
apply for employment, especially candidates in legally-protected classes, and we
hire the individual who can best fulfill the requirements of any given position
regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual
orientation, military status, religion, age or disability.
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 without
discrimination based on race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, gender,
sexual orientation, military status, 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 a
non-faculty exempt employee. The Faculty Senate, the Career Service Council,
the Non-Faculty Exempt Employees Council, the Student Association and the
University Cabinet are invited to nominate persons to serve on this council.
The Affirmative Action/EEO Officer who also serves as the Human Resources
Director is an ex-officio member of the committee. The Chair will be selected
by the President.
The School of Mines has a
written affirmative action program to achieve prompt and full utilization of
minorities, the disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans, and women at all levels
and in all segments of the work force. The results of the program are to be
reviewed annually, and the program is to be modified as necessary to achieve its
stated objectives.
Hiring procedures for all
personnel: faculty, non-faculty exempt employees, career service employees, and
student employees (other than workstudy), are outlined in writing within the
Affirmative Action Plan.
The School
of Mines’ Affirmative Action Plan and hiring guidelines are available through
the Office of Human Resources.
