Affirmative Action Policy

Job Titles/Job Groups

All job titles at UNM are placed job groups with similar EEO Occupational Categories (job families). EEO-6 Categories into which UNM titles are placed include:

Executive/Administrator
Faculty
Professional
Clerical/Secretarial
Technical/Paraprofessional
Skilled Craft Worker
Service Worker
Underutilization/Placement Goals

A separate report is generated for each job group and the persons in that group are known as incumbents. The job groups are similar to those identified in the census classification system of occupational categories and compared to the recruitment area.

The University's data is from the period of November 1st of the preceding year to October 31st of the current year. The University's Office of Institutional Analytics and Office of Compliance, Ethics & Equal Opportunity are responsible for generating the statistical data for assessing the University's accomplishments and problem areas.

The job group availabilities are calculated according to the recruitment area for each job group. Tier I Regular Staff positions are recruited locally and regionally, and Tier II Regular Staff positions are recruited locally, regionally, and nationally. Faculty positions are recruited nationally. The percentage of women and minorities available to work in the recruitment area is then compared to the percentage of women and minorities within the organization that are promotable, transferable, and trainable to determine if the University is utilizing women and minorities for each job group. A category is considered underrepresented when the percentage of representation is less than 80% of the weighted availability (two factor analysis).
