AFFIRMATIVE ..CTION POLICY DECEMBER, 1980 Page 1 INIRODUCTION Equal employment opportunity is the law of the land. It is mandated by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, various state constitutions, federal, state and local statutes, presidential and gubernatorial executive orders, federal and state administrative regulations, and an ever growing body of court decisions. The cumulative purpose of these authorities is two -fold: first, to ,guarantee that persons have genuine and equal access to available job opportunities, limited only by their individual merit and fitness to perform the work required; and second, to prevent, eliminate, and remedy discrimination in all aspects of employment based on race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental handicap or disability, marital status, sexual orientation or other non -merit factors. Public employers, because of their unique status and obligations, are expected to take a lead role in assuring that these objectives are addressed and met. There is ample evidence demonstrating the inadequacy of relying merely on a statement of a non-discrimination. policy. Accomplishment depends on positive efforts properly planned and executed. Therefore, the City of Iowa City has adopted the following Affirmative Action Policy and program guidelines in order to affirm our commitment to the goals of equal opportunity and affirmative action and to aggressively and systematically address and implement our responsibility.

In addition to impartial judgment in hiring and promotion, this Affirmative Action Policy shall also extend into the areas of firing, demotion, wages, fringe benefits, classifying, referring, and assigning employees, extending, or assigning facilities, training, or apprenticeships, as well as any other terms, conditions or privileges of employment. nd1I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES DRAFT...AFFIRMATIVL .iCTION POLICY DECEMBER, 1980 Page 2 This.Policy will be implemented by an Affirmative Action Program, which will encompass the following areas: 1.
