Equal Employment Opportunity Responses

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)

The Texas A&M University System shall provide equal opportunity for employment to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status, and shall strive to achieve full and equal employment opportunity throughout the System for faculty and staff employees. Additionally, we must ensure employees know University and System policies and procedures. Furthermore, we need to encourage and foster a workplace community where individuals are valued for their diverse backgrounds and differences.

Texas Labor Code 21.010 requires that all State employees receive mandatory Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) training within 30 days of employment. The Code further requires that each employee must complete supplemental EEO training every two years. This includes all employees, student employees, part-time employees, and seasonal or temporary workers.

Questions should be directed to the Policy and Practice Review.
