2.5 Collecting Demographic Data

In order to meet its legal obligations as a Federal Contractor, UHR’s Office of Employment Equity (OEE) collects data voluntarily provided by applicants with respect to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, and veteran status. In order to preserve confidentiality and collect demographic data in a consistent and legally-compliant manner, all application materials must be submitted through the ROCS system and consulted by search committee members through the ROCS portal. Candidates should not send application materials directly to the committee or its members. All demographic information should be collected by and through ROCS/UHR and not by individual departments.

Note that applicants and employees are invited to self-identify but are not required to do so and should not be coerced or pressured to provide their demographic information.
