The policy statement further reaffirms commitment of continuing and expanding positive programs which will assure the strengthening of this policy not only to the legal requirements of compliance but also to further employment opportunities and promotions for all ages, minorities, veterans, handicapped individuals, and women. The president of the University of Central Oklahoma assures that this commitment will embrace the development and maintenance of our Affirmative Action Compliance Program which will involve necessary additional efforts with respect to the recruitment, selection, placement, termination, training, and promotions of all employees and with respect to personnel action such as compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs, return from layoffs, education, tuition assistance, recreation programs, and other appropriate programs.
