1. the development, implementation, and maintenance of the AAP, to ensure compliance with existing governmental and university regulations.
2. advising faculty, administrators, and staff on:
a. current federal and
state laws and related regulations on Affirmative Action. Also advising how the
Campus may best be in compliance with these
governmental requirements.
b. recruitments of applicants; training, promotion,
and retention of employees to achieve racial and gender diversity, as required by
the AAP. Also working with other UC campuses, state and local
communities to promote affirmative action objectives.
3. monitoring campus progress and preparing reports on employee affirmative action. Maintaining statistics on labor force, employee work force, training, recruitment, promotion, separation, with breakdown by gender and ethnicity for reporting purposes.
4. working with faculty, managers, supervisors, and staff employees, as necessary, to mediate grievances based upon alleged violation of affirmative action policies contained in the AAPP.
5. advocating, supporting campus activities which promote diversity, women's issues, minority issues, cultural awareness, career development, and other issues covered by the AAP.
