At the same time, Marquette cherishes its right and duty to seek and retain personnel who will make a positive contribution to its religious character, goals, and mission in order to enhance the Jesuit, Catholic tradition. All policies are administered in a manner consistent with our Catholic, Jesuit identity. Reasonable workplace accommodations will be made, upon request, for employees with disabilities. In recognizing the right of individuals to affiliate with collective bargaining units, the university does so without surrendering its right to manage. The management and administration of the university are vested exclusively with the Board of Trustees, the President and his designated representatives.
Employees belonging to a bargaining unit are subject to all university rules and regulations.
The criteria for employment with Marquette University are appropriate job related skills, experience and qualifications. Marriage and family relationships constitute neither an advantage nor a disadvantage in consideration for employment. No individual, however, will be hired into a position which is directly supervised by a relative who has or may have a direct effect on the individual's progress or performance. All employees are encouraged to gain the necessary skills, training, and work experience needed to qualify for advancement opportunities. The university believes strongly in internal staff development and promotion from within whenever possible.
