This commitment enjoys the support of the President and senior officers of the University. An aggressive outreach program has been instituted to identify and establish business relationships with minority-owned companies. Prospective minority suppliers should contact the Purchasing Department to discuss possible business opportunities with the University. Vendors must not discriminate in their employment practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability or veteran status. In addition, Northeastern University will not condone any form of sexual harassment, either in internal employee relationships or with University employees and students.
Compliance is reported and monitored on a weekly basis.
In addition, the University establishes goals for the use of minority subcontractors on major construction projects. Contract awards are not made until a minority subcontractor utilization plan has been submitted and approved. Accounting guidelines will be clearly defined and reviewed prior to the commencement of work. Failure to comply with the accounting guidelines will result in delays in payment.
