2024 Commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity
Commitment to EEO. 红领巾瓜报 ("WSU") is committed to affirmative action and equal employment opportunity. It remains our policy to provide equal employment opportunity to all persons consistent with employment qualifications and applicable laws regarding discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran or other protected status. WSU will recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job titles, and ensure that all other personnel actions are administered without regard to such protected categories.
WSU recognizes that the effective application of a policy of merit employment involves more than just a policy statement and will, therefore, implement its Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) in a positive and aggressive manner and will make known WSU's commitment to this effort and that equal opportunities are available within WSU on the basis of individual merit. WSU will solicit and encourage all persons to seek opportunities within WSU and to pursue advancement possibilities.
Audit and Reporting Systems. WSU has implemented an audit and reporting system to measure the effectiveness of WSU's AAP, to identify and address the need for remedial action if necessary, and to determine the degree to which WSU's overall objectives have been attained.
Support and Responsibility for Implementation. The AAP has full support of Dr. Richard Muma, President of WSU, as well as the entire WSU management team. Dr. Courtney McHenry, Affirmative Action/EEO Coordinator, is responsible for administering all aspects of the company's EEO policy and the AAP.
Questions and Access to AAP. Should you have any questions regarding equal employment opportunity or affirmative action issues, please contact Dr. Courtney McHenry, Affirmative Action/EEO Coordinator, at courtney.mchenry@wichita.edu to make arrangements to review our EEO Policy and/or the AAP during regular work hours, Monday through Friday.
