Subject: Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action
This memorandum reaffirms San Diego State University Research Foundation's policy to provide equal employment opportunity to employees and applicants.
Decisions on employment and promotion are made at the Foundation without regard to an individual's race, sex, color, religion, ancestry, sexual orientation, age, medical condition, marital status, national origin, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, gender and/or genetic characteristics. This policy applies also to qualified veterans of the Vietnam era, disabled veterans, and disabled individuals. Any applicant or employee who wishes to review the Foundation's affirmative action plan should notify the Human Resources Department.
Each employee acting in connection with employment, promotion, transfers, training, compensation, benefits, disciplinary action, demotion, educational assistance, social and recreation programs, or any other personnel actions, shall, in good-faith, comply with the Foundation's policy on Equal Employment Opportunity and with public policy promoting Equal Employment Opportunity. Every employee shall contribute to making the work atmosphere free of racial, religious, age, or sexual discrimination or harassment.
Aside from the legal requirements, it is Foundation policy that everyone is entitled to the opportunity of equal employment. Therefore, I request the cooperation and support of every employee and every representative of management in assuring equal employment opportunity throughout the Foundation.
The director of Human Resources, has overall responsibility for the Foundation's equal employment opportunity programs. Anyone having questions regarding the Foundation's equal employment efforts or policies should feel free to contact the director of Human Resources..
