Visible Minorities

Diversity

We are an equal opportunity employer and work with equal opportunity employers.

In this page we provide resources for visible minorities in the USA.

The Office of Minority Health
The Office of Minority Health (OMH) was created in 1986 and is one of the most significant outcomes of the 1985 Secretary’s Task Force Report on Black and Minority Health. The Office is dedicated to improving the health status of racial and ethnic minorities, eliminating health disparities, and achieving health equity in the United States. OMH was reauthorized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-148).

American Council on Education (access and equity for women and minorities)
This site provides links to articles and studies regarding equality in the workplace. Also included are awards that are minority specific. This seems to be a good resource for keeping up with current trends and statistical findings that relate to minorities in education.

Campus Compact (Site recognizing best practices and model programs –for incentive purposes perhaps)
This site lists several schools that serve large numbers of minority students and describe how they encourage success in education for those students. There are many great ideas in the descriptions that can be instituted at other schools with the same goals.

Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (Can also be found as a power point presentation and geared towards search committees)
This page has good ideas about appropriate outreach sources for job announcements in minority communities. Also has advice about transparency in the job hiring process and recommends keeping documentation of all good faith procedures. Only a very brief section on retention.
