Affirmative Action
The University of Delaware is committed to assuring equal opportunity to
all persons and does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color,
gender, sexual preference, age, religion, national origin, disability or
veteran status, or membership or nonmembership in the AAUP, in its
educational programs, activities, admissions or employment practices. The
University has developed a three-step Affirmative Action plan to rectify
imbalances of opportunity that still exist despite a policy of
nondiscrimination. The first step is to reassert the principle of equal
employment opportunity in statements and advertisements to the effect that
"The University of Delaware is an Equal Opportunity Employer which
Encourages Applications from Qualified Minority Groups and Women."
(Rev. 10/1/90)
The second is to reaffirm that those private organizations, such as
contractors or subcontractors doing business with the University or those
firms recruiting through the University, shall not discriminate against any
person because of race, color, religion, sex, national or ethnic origin,
age, handicapped or veteran status.
The third is to develop and implement an affirmative action plan designed
to improve the proportion of minority and women employees in the
University's work force in general and in management and faculty positions
in particular.
