POLICY STATEMENT
Medical University of South Carolina
Commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity
|
It has
been, and will continue to be, the policy of the Medical University of South
Carolina (MUSC) to recruit, hire, train, and promote into all job levels
the most qualified persons without regard to race, color, religion, sex,
age, national origin, disability, or veteran status, except where sex is
a bona fide occupational qualification. All employment and promotional
decisions are based upon job-related requirements, and must comply with the
principles of equal employment opportunity.
Similarly, all related personnel matters such as compensation, benefits,
transfers, reassignments, layoffs, returns from layoff, University-sponsored
training, education, tuition assistance, social and recreation programs will
be administered in accordance with this equal opportunity policy.
To advance these ends, MUSC has developed an Affirmative Action Plan (AAP)
with specific and result-oriented procedures to ensure equal employment and
educational opportunity. This AAP as written is not to be considered
a permanent document. The AAP will be evaluated in an ongoing manner
through a defined audit mechanism in order to assess progress or detect potential
problems. This plan shall also be evaluated, and updated on an annual
basis and modified or revised at other times as appropriate.
General responsibility and accountability for the implementation of the AAP
is assigned to Wallace Bonaparte, Director, Office of Equal Employment Opportunity
and Affirmative Action Compliance, who will monitor the affirmative action
compliance function for MUSC. The day-to-day responsibility for administration
and implementation of the AAP is assigned to the Human Resources Division.
Administrators, directors, managers, and supervisors are individually and
collectively accountable for implementing this program. The cooperation
and diligence of everyone involved in implementation is expected and is included
as a component of their individual performance evaluation.
As a major employer in the area, MUSC recognizes its responsibility to ensure
that everyone has access to employment opportunities.
