Statement of Commitment
To: All Institute Employees:
RIT is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. In this regard, an annual Affirmative Action Plan is developed for the Institute. Responsibility for development of the Plan has been assigned to James H. Watters, Vice President, Finance and Administration.
To assure implementation of the Institute's Affirmative Action Plan, the following guidelines have been established for managers:
- To recruit, hire and promote for all position without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, or status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the wars, including Vietnam.
- To make placement decisions based solely upon an individual's qualifications for the position.
- To administer fairly and equally all personnel actions such as compensation, benefits, transfers, and sponsored programs activities.
- To provide reasonable accommodations whenever possible in an effort to advance employment for disabled individuals, including veterans.
I have a strong personal commitment to equal employment opportunity and expect the support of all faculty and staff in attaining the Institute's objective of a balanced and diverse workforce.
Cordially yours,
William Destler
President
