Affirmative Employment Program Division

This Division emphasizes a review of management and personnel practices that may impede or inhibit employees from the achievement of equal opportunity in all aspects of employment.

The term "diversity" is used broadly to refer to many demographic variables, including, but not limited to: age, color, disability, education, geographic origin, gender, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and skill characteristics.
