Additional Information
New York University's Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) is
responsible for advancing and monitoring the University's equal
opportunity and affirmative action policies, procedures, and
programs. It does so by making known the University's commitment to
these policies and by carrying out utilization analyses for
minority and women relative to national baseline data. Analyses,
carried out with respect to recruitment, promotion, and departures,
are used to identify areas of focus for future improvement.
OEO serves as a liaison with the U.S. Department of Labor and other
governmental agencies charged with affirmative action monitoring.
To advance the university's commitment to affirmative action, OEO
has responsibility for maintaining communication with organizations
external to the University that represent interests and
perspectives of women and minorities and for advising and
supporting the Schools and administrative units in their
affirmative action implementation efforts. OEO works closely with
the Human Resources Division, Office of Academic Appointments, and
Information Technology Services in coordinating and monitoring our
affirmative action program at the University level.
The Office is also responsible for administering the University's
Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy and Complaint
Procedures for Employees. The OEO implements a consistent and
uniform procedure for responding to and resolving internal
discrimination complaints. Mary Signor, Executive Director for the
OEO, serves as NYU's Title IX Coordinator, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of sex.
The OEO is NYU's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator,
serving as a resource regarding reasonable accommodations in the
workplace.
The OEO also provides guidance and training to the University
community on NYU policy and other federal, state and city
discrimination laws. Educational workshops and seminars on
discrimination and sexual harassment are offered to the University
community throughout the year.
The vision of the Office of Equal Opportunity, in partnership with
faculty, staff, and students, is to play a leadership role both at
New York University and within the broader higher education
community in promoting diversity, cultural sensitivity, and equal
opportunity in academic excellence, research, teaching,
scholarship, and service.
