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
gender 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.
