PRESIDENT'S LETTER OF REAFFIRMATION

 
 
 
 
 
TO:                  The Arizona State University Community
 
FROM:            Michael Crow, President
 
SUBJECT:     Reaffirmation of Commitment to Affirmative Action
 
DATE:            January 20, 2006
 
 
Arizona State University is committed to providing equal opportunity through affirmative action.  A university that is both representative of and serves the rich diversity of our state and nation is a primary mission of ASU.  The university provides equal opportunity without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, citizenship, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, special disabled veteran status, other protected veteran status, recently separated veteran status, or Vietnam era veteran status.  Affirmative action is directed toward women, minority persons, special disabled veterans, other protected veterans, recently separated veterans, Vietnam era veterans, and persons with disabilities.
 
The commitment to achieve diversity by providing equal opportunity through affirmative action requires the involvement of all members of the University community.  I encourage your review of the 2006 Affirmative Action Plan and welcome your comments about how we can work together to continue the progress toward achieving greater diversity within the University.
