Affirmative Action Plan

The Equal Opportunity, Accessibility, and Title IX Office (EOATIX) manages Dartmouth College's annual Affirmative Action Plan (AAP). Dartmouth has specific legal obligations as a recipient of federal financial assistance and as a federal contractor. These obligations include the development and implementation of a plan to undertake appropriate forms of affirmative action to employ women, people of color, people with disabilities, and protected veterans.

Compiling the AAP

Compiling the AAP is cross-collaborative approach with campus partners, like, the Office of Integrity & Compliance, Human Resources, and Office of Institutional Research.
The Director of Equal Opportunity coordinates the compilation of the AAP to ensure that good-faith efforts are undertaken to diversify the workforce and meet annual affirmative action goals. 

A copy of the AAP can be made available upon request by contacting EOATIX.

Goals & Priorities

EOATIX works with Dartmouth College's administrators, search committees, and partners, by:

  • Promoting a learning and working environment free from discrimination, harassment, and reprisal
  • Explaining and clarifying policies and procedures, and federal and state laws and regulations regarding Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action
  • Supporting diversity in recruitment and hiring by assisting administrative and academic departments in meeting these goals and adhering to Affirmative Action guidelines
  • Compiling and analyzing information and data for Dartmouth's Affirmative Action Plan, organizational analysis, and strategic planning efforts
  • Advising campus constituents on areas of progress and areas that require ongoing attention regarding Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity

Voluntary Self Identification

As a lawful and responsible employer, Dartmouth College invites applicants and employees to voluntarily identify their sex, race and ethnicity, veteran status, and disability. The identities are determined by the government and not Dartmouth. This information is used to measure Dartmouth College's progress against its:

  • Aim to be a fully representative and inclusive organization that provides Equal Employment Opportunity
  • Annual Affirmative Action goals, including but not limited to veterans and individuals with disabilities  

Dartmouth College surveys its workforce from time to time, all faculty and staff are invited to self-apply at any time.
