The Office for Employee Relations and Equal Employment Opportunity
The Department of Employee Relations and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) provides critical support to Howard University in the development and maintenance of a highly qualified and diverse work force while promoting fairness and equity in all facets of employment. To that end, it is responsible for handling sensitive employment issues related to employee performance, attendance, conduct, development and needs by providing daily consultative assistance and service to supervisors and employees. Technical assistance is provided with disciplinary actions, grievance and discrimination complaint processing and resolution; fair employment practices, medical and family leave issues, workplace injuries, general life concerns that may impact employment, and other complex employment-related situations.
