Chapter 8 – Equal Employment Opportunity Statement of Policy and Purpose
Effective August 4, 2025, this policy has been revised. For individual changes, see the redlined version.
The University of Iowa is committed to the principle of equality of opportunity for all persons. The purpose of the university's equal employment opportunity program is to reaffirm and ensure that this principle is applied to the recruitment, appointment, and promotion of persons in all employment classifications. The University of Iowa will continue to comply with federal and state regulations and to work cooperatively with governmental and community organizations in ensuring equal employment opportunities.
The ultimate responsibility for equal employment opportunity at the University of Iowa lies with the Iowa Board of Regents and the President of the university. Implementation and day-to-day administration of the policies are responsibilities of the Vice President for Administrative Affairs; the Associate Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer; the Associate Provost for Faculty; and the Senior Director and ADA Coordinator in the Office of Civil Rights Compliance (OCRC). Goals and objectives are attained, however, through the full cooperation, support, and good faith efforts of all deans, directors, departmental executive officers, supervisors, and others responsible for human resources decisions.
