Affirmative Action Plan
A. Purpose
Affirmative Action at FGCU is intended to reaffirm and restate the university's
continuing commitment to the principles of equal employment opportunity and
affirmative action; to set forth the efforts being taken by the university and
its employees concerning the provision of employment opportunities; and to provide
for the implementation, self-policing, and measurement of the achievement attained
through a comprehensive affirmative action program. This plan strengthens and
broadens current affirmative action/equal employment opportunity efforts. Moreover,
by identifying individuals who will be accountable for certain actions and by
monitoring affirmative action efforts, the plan will assist FGCU to achieve
it's objectives.
B. Objectives of the Affirmative Action Plan
1. To establish clear administrative responsibility and accountability for affirmative
action in all categories of employment.
2. To assure equal employment opportunity for all prospective employees and
to assure equal development and advancement opportunity for all current employees.
3. To increase employment participation of disabled veterans, person with disabilities,
women, older persons and veterans of Vietnam Era, through hiring or advancement
and promotion in areas where such people are under-represented.
4. To strengthen the internal grievance procedures available to all people who
allege employment discrimination on the basis of age, handicap, national origin,
race, religion, martial status or sex.
5. To design on-going procedures to identify problem areas. When problems are
found, efforts will be made to address them in an equitable manner. Efforts
will be made to provide necessary training for administrators regarding their
moral and legal responsibilities in these matters.
6. To establish an internal reporting system which will allow the university
and administrative officers to evaluate progress toward targeted employment
goals. Periodically, the plan will be revised and updated.
