Role and Responsibility of the AA/EEO Committees

Knowledgeable and dedicated EEO/AA area committees serve as a valuable resource in implementing the goals and objectives of an effective Affirmative Action Plan. They offer real assistance and support to search committees, and to the Vice Presidents and Deans, who have the ultimate responsibility for diversification within their divisions, and for producing the Divisional Affirmative Action Plan.

In revitalizing the role of the EEO/AA area committees, the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action assumes responsibility for providing ongoing communication and training which will enable committees to possess the accurate knowledge and general skills needed to perform their roles in an efficient and effective manner. The EEO/AA chair serves as a resource for the committee members, and the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action provides the respective committee chairs with the training they need to perform their roles for the President, and the Vice Presidents or Deans. EEO/AA committees report to the chairs of their respective committee, and the chairs of the committees report to both the respective Vice Presidents or Deans, and to the Director of the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action (Affirmative Action Officer), as the President's delegate.
