Internal Audit and Reporting Systems
In accordance with 41 C.F.R. 60-2.17
The University has developed and implemented an auditing system that periodically measures the effectiveness of its total AAP. The University views the activities that are listed below as critical to the success of the AAP.
- The Director of Affirmative Action will continue to monitor records of applicant flow, referrals, placements, rejected offers, training, transfers, promotions, terminations, and any layoffs or recalls to ensure that the University's non-discriminatory policy is carried out. Procedures are reviewed and revised as problems are identified.
- Top management is and will continue to be informed of any problems that arise in their respective areas so that immediate and appropriate steps can be taken to resolve any issues.
- The University recognizes its responsibility to affirmative action and is committed to fulfilling this responsibility by complying with all government regulations and laws pertaining to equal employment opportunity. As part of this commitment, management will be kept abreast of developments in the affirmative action area. The primary vehicle for communication with management will be periodic affirmative action briefings.
- The Affirmative Action Officer will generate internal reports on a regular basis to evaluate the degree to which equal employment opportunity and organizational objectives are being obtained.
- The University will review report results with all levels of management as to the degree to which their affirmative action goals and compliance are being attained, and will design and implement corrective actions, including adjustments in programs, as needed.
- Progress on the University's AAP will be discussed at supervisors meetings, and relevant information will be communicated to employees during regular departmental meetings as appropriate.
- The Director of Affirmative Action will periodically report to the President of the University and other appropriate top management on the effectiveness of the program and will submit recommendations for improvement.
