Data Analyst & Investigation Generalist - OEO

Overview

Discrimination has no place at Tufts University and offends the University’s core values that include a commitment to equal opportunity and inclusion. Tufts is committed to the fundamental principle of equal opportunity and equal treatment for every applicant, current employee and student.

It is the policy of the university not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, shared/ancestry, age, religion, disability, sex or gender (including pregnancy), gender identity and/or expression (including a transgender identity), sexual orientation, military or veteran status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or local law.

Further, sexual harassment and other sexual misconduct including acts of sexual violence such as rape, sexual assault, sexual exploitation and coercion are also prohibited at Tufts. Retaliation for filing complaints based on any of the above is also strictly forbidden.

Furthermore, the University seeks to attain a rich diversity of its academic programs and workplace environments on its campuses by attracting and retaining faculty, staff and students from wide range of diverse backgrounds and experiences in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, employment policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other university-sponsored programs.

In this regard, diversity encompasses the characteristics listed above as well as language, socio-economic background, parental status, education, affiliation and other qualities. The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) exists to ensure that the University’s commitment and goals toward equal opportunity are integral components of Tufts’ policies.
