Equal Opportunity Compliance serves as a focal point of Temple's institution-wide efforts for equal opportunity, equal access and affirmative action, providing direction through information, assistance and complaint investigation.
Affirmative Action (AA) Programs
Temple's Affirmative Action Plan For The Employment Of Persons with Disabilities
Temple University is subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act and to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires employers to extend equal employment opportunities to qualified people with disabilities.
If you have a disability and would like to be considered under the affirmative action plan, inform the Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance. Disclosure is voluntary. The information obtained shall be kept confidential, except that (I) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of disabled individuals and regarding necessary accommodations; (II) medical and safety personnel may be informed if the condition might require emergency treatment; and (III) government officials investigating Temple's compliance with the Acts shall be informed.
