POLICY

Arkansas State University is committed to the goal of equal opportunity for all.  This policy is adopted by the Board of Trustees.  Implementation is the responsibility of the president.

The day to day supervision of ASU's Compliance efforts is delegated to the program coordinator for affirmative action under the supervision of the associate vice chancellor for administration.  The duties include, but are not limited to, developing policy statements, affirmative action programs and plans, internal and external communication techniques, assisting the identification and resolution of problems related to equal opportunity and affirmative action, and designing and implementing reporting systems that will measure the effectiveness of ASU's affirmative action program and the degree to which ASU attains its goals.

All vice presidents, deans, directors, departmental officers, supervisors, and other personnel responsible for hiring employees and recruiting students share a responsibility to support the university's equal opportunity and affirmative action program and to provide leadership in achieving its goals.

This plan will be updated each year, and an annual report will be prepared outlining the progress made toward achieving goals of the plan.  Areas addressed in this plan include the recruitment of minority faculty, administrators and staff and the recruitment of minority students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Approved by the Board of Trustees on January 25, 1994.
