The following is the approved non-discrimination statement to be used for all MU Extension brochures, publications, etc. It should be used in full whenever possible.
"Equal opportunity is and shall be provided to all participants in Extension programs and activities, and for all employees and applicants for employment on the basis of their demonstrated ability and competence without discrimination on the basis of their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran. This policy shall not be interpreted in such a manner as to violate the legal rights of religious organizations or military organizations associated with the armed forces of the United States of America."
University of Missouri Extension's Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Policy provides for prompt processing of complaints regarding employment status or condition through informal and formal procedures.
Complaints may be filed by current employees, former employees or applicants for employment (referred to as complainants) who believe that discrimination in employment has occurred or that an employment practice has or will result in discrimination. A complaint of general discrimination in employment practices also may be filed by an organization for current employees, former employees or applicants for employment provided that upon request of the Vice Provost of Extension, the organization furnishes the names of individuals who are affected adversely by those practices.
1. An employee's, former employee's or applicant for employment's expressed dissatisfaction with, and request for redress from, discrimination on the part of management, which has affected the individual personally
2. General discriminatory practices filed by an organization.
Complainants are encouraged to use informal means of resolving complaints before pursuing a formal complaint.
All employees are to be free from any or all restraint, interference, coercion or reprisal on the part of the their associates or supervisors in making a complaint or appeal, in appearing as witnesses or in seeking information in accordance with these procedures. These principles apply with equal force after a complaint has been adjudicated. Should these principles be violated, the complainant may bring the facts to the attention of the AA/EEO officer so that appropriate action may be taken.
