The primary purpose of the Division of Special Services and Equity is to ensure that all students,
faculty, and staff have an equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of University life.
McNeese State University does not discriminate with regard to race, color, sex, national origin,
sexual orientation, religion, disability, veteran status, or age in employment or the provision of
services.
The Division of Special Services and Equity provides supervision and oversight to the
following departments: Counseling Center, Human Resources, Student Employment, Services
for Students with Disabilities, and Upward Bound. The Vice President of Special Services and
Equity is the University’s Equal Opportunity Officer and investigates complaints of
discrimination, including sexual harassment. The Division prepares the Affirmative Action Plan
for Employment and manages affirmative actions for the recruitment and retention of minorities
and women, the hiring process, diversity training programs, the applicant tracking system, and
assists the University administration on matters relating to institutional compliance. The Division
implements and manages compliance with and promotes programs and activities to support the
Americans with Disabilities Act and the Affirmative Action Program.
The Division is committed to diversity, interculturalism, and equity by providing information, services, and
training and development opportunities for faculty, staff, and students. Individually and in
collaboration with other divisions and departments, the Division develops and implements
training programs and activities to promote a welcoming, nurturing, and equally beneficial
campus environment to students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The Vice President of Special
Services and Equity engages in outreach activities to campus units and external groups in the
