Wash. Admin. Code § 495D-148-010 - Equal employment opportunity/affirmative action policy
(1) Lake Washington Institute of Technology is
an equal opportunity employer committed to providing equal opportunity and
nondiscrimination to employment applicants and employees without regard to race
or ethnicity, creed, color, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual
orientation, age, religion, the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical
disability, or whether a disabled veteran or Vietnam era veteran (hereinafter,
protected group status). The college is equally committed to take affirmative
action to increase the numbers of protected group members such as Asians, Blacks,
Hispanics, Native Americans, women, persons between the ages of forty and
seventy, persons of disability, disabled veterans and Vietnam era veterans in
positions where it is determined they are under-represented. The college will
make every effort to eliminate barriers to equal employment opportunity
encountered by these protected group members and to improve employment
opportunities available to under-represented groups.
(2) The college will recruit, hire, train, and
promote individuals in all job classifications solely upon their qualifications
and ability or potential ability to do the job, and shall consider protected
group status only when such is a bona fide occupational qualification.
(3) All other personnel actions such as
compensation, benefits, layoffs, return from layoffs, terminations,
college-sponsored training, education, tuition assistance, and social and
recreational programs will be administered without regard to protected group
status.
(4) Numerical goals will be
set in areas where protected classes are determined to be under-represented based
upon the district's demographics. The college will make every effort to meet such
goals within the timetables established for such goals.
(5) The president is charged with the overall
responsibility for assuring that the equal employment opportunity/affirmative
action policy is administered effectively, and is granted the authority to
exercise that responsibility. It is incumbent upon each member of the Lake
Washington Institute of Technology faculty, administration, and staff to make a
good faith effort in the execution of this policy. Failure to do so may be
grounds for disciplinary action.
