Chancellor's Statement on Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is committed to Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action. An essential component of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's mission is to provide for its students an excellent educational experience. To accomplish that requires that we embrace diversity as a significant factor that enhances the quality of all educational experiences. Diversity of race, culture, gender, ideas, and perspective truly enhances the fullness of the learning experience and prepares our students to take their place and contribute effectively in a global community.
To accomplish this important goal, we are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action in order to ensure that our full community reflects a profile that models our belief that diversity enhances the quality of our educational programs. Teams within all colleges, divisions and departments are encouraged to embrace EEO/AA goals and strategies which are designed to foster the employment and advancement of women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and other "protected class" individuals. Our University and region benefit greatly from the intent and spirit of EEO/AA on campus.
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth has made and will continue to make progress on EEO/AA. The University's commitment to these important principles will continue to be implemented through a broad range of programs throughout the University, including through the Office of Equal Opportunity, Diversity & Outreach. As Chancellor, I retain the primary responsibility for insuring the achievement of our EEO/AA goals, while holding accountable the Vice/Assistant Chancellors for their EEO/AA decisions. However, it is the responsibility of each and every member of the University community to achieve EEO/AA goals. Our collective energy and desire will far surpass the commitment of a few in accomplishing the invaluable benefits of EEO/AA.

Assistant Chancellor for Equal Opportunity, Diversity & Outreach Statement on
Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action
As the Assistant Chancellor for Equal Opportunity, Diversity & Outreach, I am committed to Equal Employment and Equal Educational Opportunity & Affirmative Action (EEO/AA). As such, I and members of my team work with all members of the University including students, faculty and staff to achieve an environment which is conducive to the growth and development of all individuals. We collaborate on a broad range of initiatives throughout the University to foster cultural diversity-a process designed to promote an awareness, an understanding and an appreciation of relationships among people of various backgrounds. Community outreach is also an important component of the Office of Equal Opportunity, Diversity & Outreach so that the University, as well as the SouthCoast region, benefits from two-way communication and mutual interest.
