The Western University of Health Sciences and its Board of Trustees support equal employment in hiring decisions, and the President affirms this commitment in seeking to achieve racial/ethnic and gender diversity among the faculty. In order to further the effective employment practices and the practice of equal opportunity in faculty hiring initiatives, the University has adopted specific faculty/administrative recruitment and appointment procedures.

As an EEO Employer, Western University of Health Sciences is required to engage in outreach and other efforts to broaden the pool of qualified candidates to include groups previously excluded.
