The Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity has overall responsibility in providing leadership, coordination and oversight of the University’s affirmative action and diversity education initiatives. The office monitors all matters within the University that pertain to affirmative action, employee relations, equal opportunity and diversity. Winston-Salem State University is committed to the principle of equal and fair treatment of all applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability or national origin. 

As such, the University adheres to an Affirmative Action Plan designed to insure that all present and prospective employees of the University can be assured of equal and fair treatment, in not only recruitment and hiring, but also in promotion, demotion, transfer, layoff, termination or selection for training and development.  The Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity, the Department of Human Resources, and EPA/Office of Administration and Planning will assure compliance with Federal and State regulations governing Equal Employment Opportunity.  Winston-Salem State University believes strongly that these actions are in the best interests of the University, our employees, our community and our nation.
