The Office for Equal Opportunity and Workforce Planning is responsible for the Diversity and Equity work on SJSU’s campus. The office implements the University's Non-Discrimination, Harassment and Affirmative Action policies, procedures and practices to ensure that no person is discriminated against in employment, educational programs and activities on the basis of sex, race, color, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, veteran status, genetic information and for participating in any protected activity. In addition to the above enforcement and compliance duties, The Office for Equal Opportunity and Workforce Planning is charged with overseeing the University Diversity Master Plan (http://www.sjsu.edu/diversityplan/about/). The first of its kind in the California State University System, the coordinated, campus-wide Inclusive Excellence Diversity Master Plan outlines ways in which the university can more fully embrace and celebrate its diversity. The Office for Equal Opportunity and Workforce Planning also works with several different campus committees on diversity initiatives, programs and recruitment efforts.
