B. Retention, Promotion, and Termination Policies

Policies relating to retention, promotion, and termination shall be in accordance with provisions as outlined in The University of Tampa Employee Handbook and/or the spirit of this Affirmative Action Plan.

If a person believes that his or her appointment is being terminated or otherwise adversely affected because of sex, minority status or other discriminatory reasons, that person may request in writing an investigation by the affirmative action officer or the director for human resources. The affirmative action officer will give any such investigation a high priority and report his/her findings to the director for human resources. In the event that the charges prove correct, appropriate action will be taken.

Exit interviews are to be requested with employees who voluntarily leave the University. A confidential report will be made to the affirmative action officer in the event that the employee indicates any impression of discrimination or prejudice on the basis of sex or minority status.
