Equal Employment Opportunity
Equal employment opportunity is the core concept that unifies diversity and affirmative action efforts; that everyone should have equal access to employment opportunities.
The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities adhere to state and federal equal employment opportunity laws and board policy, both of which prohibit discrimination based on a variety of characteristics.
In addition to race and sex, these characteristics include: Color, national origin, religion, physical or mental ability, marital status, age, sexual orientation and status with regard to public assistance.
