Employment Practices
On This Page:
The role of the Director of Employment Practices and
Employee Disability Programs is to provide leadership and
training to the campus to ensure that all personnel
procedures and practices are conducted in a manner that
ensures fair and equitable treatment of all persons who
participate in, or seek entrance to, CSU, Chico's workforce.
The University's goal is to remove all non-job-related
barriers and ensure that employment actions are based on
individual merit and fitness of applicants and employees as
related to the requirements of the specific positions to be
filled without regard to race, color, religion, gender,
national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, pregnancy,
medical condition, or disability.
To this end, the Director assists the campus to implement
policies, laws, and regulations relating to discrimination,
harassment, and accommodation of disabilities.
The Director of Employment Practices is the designated
contact for employee (staff and faculty) complaints of
discrimination (including sexual harassment) and
Whistleblower complaints.
The Director of Student Judicial Affairs (898-6897) is
the contact for similar student complaints.
The Assistive Device/Auxiliary Aid Program receives a
limited amount of funding each fiscal year to pay for
reasonable accommodations for employees who have qualifying
disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990, and California's Fair Employment and Housing Act
(California Government Code § 12926-12928, 12940, 19230),
Once these limited funds are expended, employees request
accommodations and the appropriate administrators process
the requests using the campus procedures outlined in
Procedures for Processing Requests to Accommodate Employees
or Applicants with Disabilities available at http://www.csuchico.edu/hr/Documents/
EEOD-ProcessingRequestsForAccomodations.pdf.

process may be directed to the Director of Employment
