The University of Texas at Arlington is an equal employment opportunity employer. The University does not discriminate on any basis prohibited by applicable law including race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status in recruitment, employment, promotion, compensation, benefits, or training. It is also the University's policy to maintain a work environment free from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The University of Texas at Arlington is committed to seeking the best qualified person to fill each available position and will reward each employee based on his or her job performance.

This Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action policy shall be implemented throughout the University. It is the responsibility of all departments and personnel to ensure the University's compliance.

The Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Office was established in 1973 to investigate allegations of discrimination. Complaints regarding impermissible discrimination should be brought to the Equal Employment Opportunity Office. The Director of the Equal Employment Opportunity Office reports directly to the Provost and the President. Any employee who feels he or she has been discriminated against should contact the Director at 710 S. Davis Street (272-2106). All inquiries will be confidential, to the extent permitted by law, and no employee should fear reprisals.

Equal Employment Opportunity is the law; discrimination is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 11246 as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Act of 1974, the Age Discrimination Employment Act of 1967, as amended, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1974, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Anyone who believes he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status may contact the United States Government's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, both of which are in Dallas.
