It is to be used as a reminder for faculty when they are creating their course material.
Faculty fill out the form, stating explicitly how they incorporated diversity into their curricula.
The form is kept in their files, and the form is used for our accreditation reports. The third sentence gives practical clarification of the policy for the use of department search committees. The Department of Journalism and Technical Communication, in accordance with Colorado State University's Non-Discrimination Policy, does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, color, religion, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation or veteran status. Accordingly, equal opportunity of employment and admission shall be extended to all persons, and the department shall promote equal opportunity and treatment though a positive and continuing affirmative action program. Such a program will include proactive recruitment of applicants from diverse backgrounds, and will value diverse backgrounds as positive assets to the department when considering applicants for hire or admission.
