Diversity & Affirmative Action

Human Resources provides resources, programs, and materials that foster and nurture a diverse faculty and staff. 

Here are a few things we do:

• Provide guidance in Eastern’s hiring activities to meet affirmative action goals.
• Monitor recruitment to ensure compliance with policies and procedures, federal and state laws and collective bargaining agreements.
• Investigate complaints of discrimination filed against employees.
• Ensure HR vendors reflect the diversity of EMU and the community.
• Conduct trainings and workshops on affirmative action, equal opportunity employment and diversity issues as well as discrimination, harassment and fair employment practices.
• Monitor pending state and federal legislation and policy developments related to affirmative action and EEO and participate in related hearings.
• Prepare an annual affirmative action plan.
• Participate on various university and community committees and organizations representing EMU.
