Chancellor’s Memorandum No. A-249
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN
[Supersedes Chancellor’s
Memorandum No. A-247 dated
Purdue University Calumet recognizes the
opportunities available to it through the development of a diverse faculty and
staff. As an active step in promoting
diversity campus-wide through affirmative action and equal employment
opportunity, I am disseminating Purdue Calumet’s Affirmative Action Plan for
the period October 2004 through September 2005 as part of this memorandum. The Affirmative Action Plan is especially
relevant at this time when there are several position searches authorized
and/or in process. The Plan describes
the policies and procedures that members of the Purdue Calumet faculty and
staff will follow in meeting legal and ethical affirmative action
responsibilities.
While Vice Chancellors, deans, directors, and
department heads are responsible for the personnel practices of their units,
all Purdue Calumet employees are expected to be aware of Purdue Calumet’s
commitment to affirmative action, and promote it and the attached policies in
their workplaces.
Purdue Calumet is committed to nurturing a
community, which recognizes and treasures the inherent worth and dignity of
every person. Purdue Calumet is
committed to fostering tolerance, sensitivity, understanding, and mutual
respect among its members; and is equally committed to encouraging each of its
members to reach his or her potential.
Each of us has a stake in helping make Purdue Calumet a positive example
of diversity to our students and to the larger community of which we are a
part.
The plan is available through the Human Resources
website at the following address http://www.calumet.purdue.edu/hr/aaplan.pdf
as well as available in hard copy in Human Resources, Lawshe
