Board of Regents' Policy 04.02.012 (B) states:

The University of Alaska seeks to hire, train and promote individuals based on qualifications and demonstrated ability to perform the job. The University is committed to recruit and retain women and minorities in positions where they have been traditionally under-represented. The concept of affirmative action requires that practices that adversely impact protected classes should be eliminated unless the university can demonstrate a legally permissible basis. To accomplish the goals of its affirmative action program, the university encourages employment applications from and makes special efforts to recruit protected classes.

Annual goals are established for each job category in which minorities and females are underutilized. Utilization is a comparison of UA's current representation to availability in the workforce based on census data. The purpose of these goals is to achieve parity in the workforce without discriminating against any employee or job applicant.

The University of Alaska actively promotes equal employment opportunities for protected groups while monitoring recruitment efforts and selection decisions. Statewide Human Resources works with the campuses to produce metrics and develop projects to focus on a diverse workforce across the university system.

Overview

Goal Summary by Occupational Category ? 2019 Plan Year

The following provides a detailed explanation of annual goals by occupational category and university. Note that the "Executive" occupational category has been redefined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as "Officials and Managers" and thus this category now includes not only officers and senior administrators of the university, but managers as well. The tables below compares data from the prior plan years (2017 & 2018) with the 2019 plan year. The information indicates whether the occupational category is underutilizing females and/or minorities, and which sub-category those goals apply to. Underutilization is present when there are fewer females and/or minorities in a particular job group than would be expected by their availability in the workforce based on the census data. The annual goals are based on the individualized campus affirmative action plans. If there is no underutilization, then there is no annual goal(s) needed in the occupational category.

The further breakout of the occupational categories into sub-categories aligns with the Office of Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) guidelines and affords a more transparent understanding of specific areas of underutilization, allowing the University of Alaska to more effectively target recruitment goals, region, and specialty. To help illustrate trending over the changes in categorization and employee headcount, percentages have been added to the tables below.
