Faculty and administrative staff openings are advertised in professional journals and other national publications. Every effort is made to acquire a broadly representative applicant pool before the search for candidates is ended. Employment decisions on hiring, promotion, transfer, etc. are based on qualifications and merit without regard to race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability or veteran status. USC does not discriminate in the administration of its admissions, financial aid and employment policies, educational programs and other student related activities. Within the limits of its facilities, the University is open to all students who meet admissions standards.
Reasonable accommodation is made for students with disabilities to attain their academic objectives.
Student performances are evaluated solely on an academic basis. The policies of non-discrimination and affirmative action apply equally to all student employees. University employees who feel they have been discriminated against by reason of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability or veteran status may voice their complaint to their immediate supervisor or department head. Complaints which cannot be resolved satisfactorily within the department should be reported promptly to the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs. This complaint procedure is described in the System Affirmative Action Policy, USC Policies and Procedures Manual.
