In accordance with the federal government's affirmative action program, each federal contractor is required to implement an Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) specific to that contractor. To develop this plan, FIU conducts an annualstatistical analysis of the workforce, applicant, and employee data. An independent body then assesses the data and develops the following factorsmonitored by the federal government: FIU must act according to the plan and report annually on intentional actions (i.e., affirmative action) taken in good faith as outlined in the plan. Data requested covers one year and includes, but is not limited to, all records of job postings, applicants, hires, promotions, compensation, and all demographic data on university employees, including faculty, adjuncts, administrators, staff, and temporary employees.

The federal government's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program (OFCCP) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) serve as regulatory bodies that ensure contractors such as FIU act in good faith and in accordance with applicable employment laws and regulations. The OFCCP has, and can, at any time, conduct a review of university processes to ensure compliance and will require proof that affirmative actionsare being taken. FIU is committed to compliance with all Federal and State regulations and guidelines. Beyond compliance, these practices ensure the FIU experience is characterized by equal opportunity for all.
