Affirmative Action Coordinators

Definition

Each college or administrative unit has an affirmative action coordinator.  The coordinators provide knowledge and expertise to (a) explain affirmative action requirements to members of search committees and others who express interest or concern, (b) help search committees develop the required documentation for recruitment and screening procedures, and (c) brief Director of Human Rights, Access and Inclusion on issues that arise during the search process related to affirmative action and equal opportunity employment.  Director of Human Rights, Access and Inclusion may delegate selected responsibilities to affirmative action coordinators.  (FSH 3065 B-6.  Affirmative Action Coordinators)

Affirmative Action Coordinators, appointed by either deans or vice presidents, serve as liaisons between administrative offices and Human Resources, and function as resource persons for search and selection committees within their units. Departments should process all paperwork through your Affirmative Action Coordinator.
