INFORMATION FOR VETERANS & HIRING AUTHORITIES

The University of Oregon is a federal contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRA). Consistent with its obligations under VEVRA, the University of Oregon prohibits discrimination and takes affirmative steps to employ, advance in employment and otherwise treat qualified individuals without discrimination based on their status as a Vietnam era veteran, a special disabled veteran, a veteran who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized, or a newly separated veteran. 

It is important that all new employees be given the opportunity to self-identify as a covered veteran for purposes of the University’s affirmative action program for veterans.  For more information regarding VEVRA, including employer responsibilities and employee/applicant rights, please go to VEVRA. 

If you are an employee or applicant for employment who is a covered veteran for purposes of VEVRA and wish to self-identify in order to benefit from the University’s affirmative action program for covered veterans, please complete the Veterans Self-Identification Form and return it to the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity as directed on the form.

As a federal contractor, the University of Oregon is required to report on the number of covered veterans employed in its workforce on an annual basis.  In order to have accurate information, it is important that all new employees be given an opportunity to self-identify applicable covered veteran status for purposes of the University’s Vets 100 Report.  For more information regarding covered veterans to be included in our Vets 100 Report, please go to Vets 100 Report.

If you are a supervisor or hiring authority, you must give every newly hired employee a copy of the Veterans Self-Identification Form and encourage them to complete and return the form to the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity.

The University of Oregon complies with Oregon Revised Statutes 408.225 to 409.290 to the extent applicable. The University does not have any civil service positions.
