Purpose and Summary
It is the policy of the University of Arizona (University) to provide equal employment opportunity without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information.
Policy
As a matter of law and as a matter of University policy, selection for opportunities for hire, promotion, transfer, or training, as well as decisions regarding demotion, termination, layoff, or other terms and conditions of employment, shall occur without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information .
The University is also a federal government contractor, and it is University policy to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment covered veterans and individuals with disabilities.
The University makes good faith efforts to reach covered veterans and individuals with disabilities with information about our equal opportunity policy and, specifically, about employment opportunities at the University. This recruitment effort is particularly important for jobs where covered veterans and individuals with disabilities are not currently participating in the numbers reasonably expected by their availability. It is the policy of the University to invite all interested persons, both from outside the University and from within the University community, to apply for such opportunities.
The University formally assigns the responsibilities contained in its written Affirmative Action Plans for Individuals with Disabilities and for Protected Veterans to each vice president, dean, director, department head, manager, and supervisor, and the University requires these employees to adhere to the commitment made in each Affirmative Action Plan.
