EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT

In order to participate in on-campus interviewing on the Rutgers University campus, employers are required to follow University guidelines.

All employers affirm that they are an equal opportunity employer, offering employment without regard to race, religion, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or age. They provide equal employment opportunity to people with disabilities, disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era.

Rutgers University has adopted a policy requiring employers using University facilities for recruiting purposes to affirm in writing that they do not discriminate in their employment practices against
applicants in any of these categories.

However, where employers believe applicants in any one of these categories are unable to meet their occupational qualifications for employment, the employers may continue to use the facilities of Career Services if they inform such offices of their policy and the reasons that justify it. An example is the U.S. military, which by executive order excludes persons based on age, physical disability and sexual orientation. Statements from these employers are on file with Career Services and are available for review.
