| Affirmative Action Policy
Murray State University formally declares its commitment to all laws mandating affirmative
action and equal opportunity regulations, together with all valid state and federal regulations
enacted pursuant thereto. The policy of Murray State University is to guarantee freedom from
discrimination in its operation and administration of its programs, services, and employment
practices; in its relationships with students, faculty, and staff; and in its interactions with the
community which it serves.
Murray State University endorses the intent of all federal and state laws created to prohibit
discrimination. Murray State University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability in employment or the
provision of services and provides, upon request, reasonable accommodation including
auxiliary aids and services necessary to afford individuals with disabilities an equal
opportunity to participate in all programs and activities.
The policy of Affirmative Action is an on-going commitment. The policy of affirmative
action is limited, in that the achievement of its objective removes the necessity of its
existence. Murray State University is committed to achieving the goals that have been
established and published in the Murray State University Affirmative Action Plan. It should
also be known that this Affirmative Action Plan is an official policy of Murray State
University.
Functions in connection with the evaluation and monitoring of the Affirmative Action
Program of Murray State University have been assigned to the Affirmative Action Committee
by the President of the University. To this end, the Committee should have access to all
records and on-going processes necessary to effectuate its responsibility. A description of the
composition and specific duties of the Affirmative Action Committee is found in the
University Governance System policy.
Persons who wish to inspect the MSU Affirmative Action Plan or who seek other information
concerning the Affirmative Action Program of Murray State University should contact the
Director of Equal Opportunity, Murray State University, Murray, KY 42071.
