Recruitment

Affirmative Action Executive Order 11246 requires Western Washington University to undertake proactive steps to achieve a diverse workforce when women and people of color are underutilized with respect to their availability in the labor force.

To ensure each recruitment search is following Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity guidelines, the Equal Opportunity Office coordinates a briefing with each search committee to discuss strategies, procedures, and resources that better enable the University to meet our Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity goals.
