Everyone matters! Please consider participating in the university’s self-identification process. This process helps Kent State University understand the composition of our diversified workforce and improve accessibility, veteran representation, and disability inclusion. Additionally, this will assist Kent State to evaluate the effectiveness of recruitment and advancement initiatives related to the federal contractor compliance programs for veterans and individuals with disabilities.
Between now and Oct. 31, access the confidential self-identification link through Flashline using the instructions below.
How to Self-Identify
Log in to Flashline, select settings (left side of navigation bar), scroll down to the secure account access section and look for the following links:
- View or Update Veterans Classification
- View or Update Ethnicity & Race
- View or Update Disability Status
- View or Update Chosen Name, Pronouns and Gender Identity
The opportunity to participate in the self-identification survey will close on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024, at 5 p.m.
Why Self-Identify?
As a federal contractor, Kent State is required to report statistical data to the U.S. Department of Labor and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).
It is our hope that through your participation in this voluntary process, Kent State will continue to be recognized for its outstanding institutional commitment to equal opportunity.
The information obtained in the self-identification process is confidential and restricted to staff in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance (EOC) for the purposes of federal compliance obligations, and our HR Records department for Banner recordkeeping purposes. The information does not become part of your personnel record, nor is it used in any decision-making processes related to employment.
