Guidelines published by the federally appointed Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to ensure uniform Employee Selection Procedures for all job applicants.

Also included in the context of EEOC at LSUHSC-S is the Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) which relates not only to employment, but ensures that no qualified person shall be subjected to discrimination under any University Program or activity.

Every effort must be made to ensure that all selection instruments used  (i.e. interview, individual items on applications forms,paper and pencil tests, etc.) are directly related to successful job performance of the job in question.

EEOC is based on Civil Rights Laws that:

Bar employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender and national origin;
Bar wage differentials based on gender;
Bar age-based employment practices against persons 40 years of age and over.
