Welcome to the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity Web site. We strive to achieve fairness, equality, opportunity and respect within the University System which includes Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

We are here to make sure you know that the institutions of the Texas Tech University System are Equal Employment/Affirmative Action employers. Women, minorities and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply for any employment opportunity offered at Texas Tech.

What is Equal Employment?

This means we do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental disabilities, Vietnam Era or Special Disabled Veteran Status.

What is Affirmative Action?

Affirmative Action means that we take steps to ensure that applicants and employees are treated equally, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental disabilities, Vietnam Era or Special Disabled Veteran Status.

Harrassment

The TTU System prohibits any harassment based on race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, or disability. Harassment is verbal or physical conduct that shows hostility toward an individual because of these protected rights, and that has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment; has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance; or otherwise adversely affects an individual’s employment opportunities.

We insure that equal employment opportunity exists in all personnel transactions within the Texas Tech University System by:

Conducting annual workforce review
Coordinating responses to external civil rights agency inquiries
Establishing Affirmative Action Plans with hiring goals
Handling employee grievance
Monitoring Compliance of EEO laws and regulations
Providing EEO technical assistance
