Affirmative Action

The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to achieving full equal opportunity and affirmative action for all applicants and employees. Equal opportunity ensures all qualified applicants and employees are treated fairly and not discriminated against with regard to the individual's race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, marital status, or political affiliation/philosophy. 

Affirmative action is a federal law requirement for employers who are federal contractors, such as CU Boulder, to take positive actions towards the outreach and employment opportunities for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities. Affirmative action is a part of the way CU Boulder strives to create and support a campus environment where everyone matters and all can thrive.
