"This
is the next and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights. We seek
not just freedom but opportunity-not just legal equity but human ability-not
just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a
result".
Lyndon B. Johnson, June 4, 1965
Our Mission
The mission
of the Affirmative Action section of the UAMS Office of Human Resources is to promote
good faith efforts to recruit, employ and advance in employment qualified
persons of color, women, persons with disabilities and covered veterans. Our
mission is accomplished by ensuring that UAMS fulfills its obligation as a
federal contractor to comply with all applicable laws, orders and regulations,
including but not limited to the rules and procedures as set forth by the
Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
Our Goals
*Increase inclusiveness in the workplace thorough the application of
affirmative action principles in the employment process.
*Promote equal opportunity and equitable, non-discriminatory treatment
of all campus community members in all aspects of employment and education
through the assistance of development and implementation of effective complaint
and investigative procedures and through ongoing monitoring of employment
practices.
*Ensure the UAMS community is free of illegal discrimination through
education, training, and assistance in rapid response of complaints.
