The University is very committed to EEO and Affirmative Action in all aspects of its enterprise and will utilize affirmative action to make employment decisions so as to further the principle of equal employment opportunity. Personnel decisions are based only on valid job requirements, and we will make all reasonable accommodations necessary to employ and advance in employment-qualified persons with disabilities and protected veterans.
