Introduction / Definitions
“Georgetown University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer fully dedicated to achieving a diverse faculty and staff. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply and will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity and expression, and sexual orientation), disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.”
(Excerpt from IDEAA, Diversity Recruitment Sources https://ideaa.georgetown.edu/diversity-recruitment/)
It is the goal of Georgetown University and its departments to advertise, recruit vigorously, and employ qualified candidates, particularly minority persons, women, veterans, and persons with disabilities. This effort upholds the University’s Affirmative Action Plan as well as the requirements of the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
