Affirmative Action Resources
In compliance with Executive Order 11246, and other state and federal regulations UTHealth Houston prepares annual written Affirmative Action Plans for minorities and women, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities. The goal of the AAP is to guarantee equal employment opportunity in all employment decisions, including those decisions affecting:
- Hiring
- Promotion
- Demotion or transfer
- Recruitment
- Advertisement of vacancies
- Layoff and termination
- Compensation and benefits
A full description of the university’s affirmative action program is available to any employee or applicant for employment for inspection upon written request by contacting 713-500-CALL or [email protected].
Voluntary Self-Identification
Be Included, Self-Identify! The institution is committed to supporting veterans and individuals with disabilities. Effectively supporting these groups starts with you. We invite you to self-identify today.
Why this matters. As a federal contractor, the university needs this information to measure our progress toward achieving equal opportunity for veterans and people with disabilities.
Privacy and Confidentiality. This is voluntary, and the information cannot be used against you or shared with your supervisor or co-workers. The data collected will only be used for aggregate reporting in our annual affirmative action planning.
It is easy! If you have never disclosed your status, or don't recall how you might have responded at the time of hire, that's okay. It's easy to verify. Just log in to employee self-service via the intranet (requires VPN) and update the form.
