Statement of Assurance (non-discrimination statement)

Monitoring Affirmative Action

The Director for Equal Opportunity Services monitors records of applicant flow, referrals, placements, rejected offers, training, transfers, promotions, terminations and any lay-offs or recalls to ensure that the university's non-discriminatory policy is carried out. Due to the general volume of personnel transactions, such monitoring is conducted semi-annually. Procedures are reviewed if problems are identified.
Senior management is informed of any problems that arise in their respective areas to ensure action and positive results via memoranda, reports and campus meetings. Managers are also informed the degree to which their goals are attained.
Progress on Carnegie Mellon's Affirmative Action Plan is discussed at senior management meetings. Relevant information is communicated to employees during regular departmental meetings.
The Director for Equal Opportunity Services will periodically report to the President of the university on the effectiveness of the program and will submit recommendations to improve any unsatisfactory performance.
