What is a nondiscrimination policy statement?
As part of the first step in completing an EEOP Short Form, a recipient must post a nondiscrimination policy statement that applies to its employment practices. The nondiscrimination policy statement is usually a relatively brief text, often officially adopted by a senior administrator or governing body, that sets forth the recipient organization’s philosophy on providing equal employment opportunities to both applicants and employees, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability, and perhaps other state and local protected classes. Some recipients use the nondiscrimination policy statement in notifying employees, prospective employees, and members of the public that the recipient organization is complying with federal civil rights laws.
