Affirmative Action
University of Colorado Boulder is committed to achieving full equal opportunity and affirmative action for all applicants and employees. Equal opportunity ensures all qualified applicants and employees are treated fairly and not discriminated against with regard to the individual's race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or veteran status.
Affirmative action is a federal law requirement for employers who are federal contractors, such as CU Boulder, to take positive actions towards the outreach and employment opportunities for women, members of underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Affirmative action is a part of the way CU Boulder regularly conducts its business and complements the philosophy and belief that diversity enriches the educational and employment experience for all faculty, staff, and students at CU Boulder.
