Equal opportunity in employment is governed by a variety of federal laws.

These laws prohibit discrimination in all terms and conditions of employment – including hiring, 补偿, 培训, 促销活动, and termination – based on 比赛/ethnicity, color, 国家的起源, 性, 残疾, 资深的地位, 和年龄. The majority of these laws are enforced by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

These laws are enforced by a division of the Department of Education known as the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
Affirmative action in employment applies to federal contractors such as Delta State University and is governed by Executive Order 11246. 本质上, Executive Order 11246 prohibits discrimination by contractors based on 比赛, 性, color, and 国家的起源, and requires federal contractors to prepare annual Affirmative Action Programs (AAPs). Executive Order 11246 is enforced by a division of the Department of Labor known as the Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs (OFCCP). At Delta State University, 人力资源 prepares annual AAPs for faculty, 工作人员, and individuals with disabilities & 退伍军人.
Affirmative action does not require any employer or educational institution to hire or admit any certain individuals. The concept of affirmative action in employment is for employers to rid themselves of obstacles that might prohibit minorities and women from receiving fair treatment and to produce applicant pools of diverse and qualified individuals from which to select employees. The concept of affirmative action in educational admissions essentially allows educational institutions to consider 比赛 as one factor in making an individualized consideration of applications.
