HR Update

Affirmative Action Self-Identification

The University of Minnesota invites you to voluntarily update your race, ethnicity, disability, and protected veteran status at any time. 

As a federal contractor, the University is required to take affirmative action to ensure that all individuals have an equal opportunity for employment regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, or protected veteran status.  Collecting this information will allow the University to assess and improve affirmative action efforts and comply with government reporting requirements.

To make updates, click on the “My Info” tab in MyU.  To update race or ethnicity, then click on “Ethnicity.”  To update disability or protected veteran status, click on the “More Personal Information” link.

The University is committed to providing reasonable workplace accommodations to employees with disabilities.  To learn about requesting a workplace accommodation at the University, please contact the Disability Resource Center at drc@umn.edu or your local campus disability resources office.
