The University of New Haven is committed in achieving a diverse and pluralistic community,
which reflects the multi-racial and culturally diverse society in the United States
through strict non-discrimination in admissions, educational programs and employment.
The commitment to Affirmative Action is also a commitment to be proactive in the continuing
effort to diversify the faculty, staff and the student body at the University. The
University will base decisions on employment so as to further the principle of equal
employment opportunity.
It is the University of New Haven’s goal to hire the most qualified individuals in
every position within the University. The University is committed to basing judgments
concerning employment of individuals on their qualifications, abilities, skills
and experience and affirmatively seeks to attract persons with diverse backgrounds.
The University will recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job titles without
regard to individual’s sex, sexual orientation, race, color, personal appearance,
gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, civil union status, national
origin, ancestry, religion, age, genetic information, disability (including but not
limited to, intellectual disability, past or present history of mental disorder, physical
disability or learning disability) or any other basis prohibited by Connecticut state
and/or federal nondiscrimination laws.
The University will ensure that promotion decisions are in accord with principles
of equal employment opportunity by imposing only valid requirements for promotional
opportunities. The University will ensure that all personnel actions such as compensation,
benefits, transfers, layoffs, return from layoff, company-sponsored training, education,
tuition assistance, and social and recreational programs will be administered without
