It is the policy of Arizona State University (ASU) to provide equal opportunity through affirmative action in employment and educational programs and activities. Discrimination is prohibited on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, citizenship, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, and disabled veteran, other protected veterans, recently separated veteran, Armed Forces Service Medal veteran or Vietnam-era veteran status. Equal employment opportunity includes, but is not limited to, recruitment, hiring, promotion, termination, compensation, benefits, transfers, university-sponsored training, education, tuition assistance, and social and recreational programs.

ASU is committed to taking affirmative action in increasing opportunities at all levels of employment and to increasing participation in programs and activities by all faculty, staff and students. Affirmative action is directed toward minorities, women, special disabled veterans, other protected veterans, recently separated veterans, Armed Forces Service Medal veterans, Vietnam-era veterans and persons with disabilities.

The Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) provides policies, procedures, and responsibilities for implementing, monitoring, reporting and communicating compliance with the university's equal employment opportunity/affirmative action policy. Responsibility for AAP development, reporting, and monitoring of employment activity has been delegated to the Office of Diversity. The Office of Diversity is located in the University Services Building and is open 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday (See Map).

Responsibility for implementation of and communication about EO/AA policies has been delegated to provosts, vice presidents and the Director of the Office of Diversity. Further information on responsibilities related to EO/AA is provided in the Affirmative Action Plan. The specific internal and external communication efforts are also provided in the AAP and demonstrate the university's commitment to achieving the goals of affirmative action.

The commitment to equal opportunity through affirmative action is central to ASU's mission. It is the responsibility of each hiring official to communicate the goals of the Affirmative Action Plan and assure employment actions are in compliance with the university's policies providing equal opportunity.
