Nondiscrimination/Affirmative
Action Policy
|
| 2.28.01.010
|
Wayne State University is committed to a
policy of non-discrimination and equal opportunity in all of
its operations, employment opportunities, educational
programs and related activities.
|
| 2.28.01.020
|
This policy embraces all persons regardless
of race, color, sex (including gender identity), national
origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, familial status,
marital status, height, weight, disability, or veteran
status and expressly forbids sexual harassment and
discrimination in hiring, terms of employment, tenure,
promotion, placement and discharge of employees, admission,
training and treatment of students, extracurricular
activities, the use of University services, facilities, and
the awarding of contracts. This policy also forbids
retaliation and/or any form of harassment against an
individual as a result of filing a complaint of
discrimination or harassment, or participating in an
investigation of a complaint of discrimination or
harassment. It shall not preclude the University from
implementing those affirmative action measures which are
designed to achieve full equity for minorities and women.
|
| 2.28.01.030
|
The University, as an equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer, complies with all
applicable federal and state laws regarding
non-discrimination and affirmative action. In furtherance of
this policy, the University is also committed to
institutional diversity to achieve full equity in all areas
of University life and service and in those private clubs
and accommodations that are used by University personnel. No
off-campus activities sponsored by or on behalf of Wayne
State University shall be held in private club facilities or
accommodations which operate from an established policy
barring membership or participation on the basis of race,
color, sex (including gender identity), national origin,
religion, age, sexual orientation, familial status, marital
status, height, weight, disability, or veteran status.
Affirmative action procedures, measures, and programs may be
used to the extent permitted by law to establish, monitor
and implement affirmative action plans for all budgetary
units and the University as a whole.
|
| 2.28.01.040
|
The affirmative action plans
and programs of the University may include the participation
of minority- and female-owned businesses, institutions and
firms in the awarding of contracts for consulting,
management, construction projects, maintenance, and vendor
services.
