The goal of the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Division is to provide for a diverse, non-discriminatory environment of equal employment opportunity.
The Michigan Department of Corrections prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, color, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, national origin, disability, religion, marital status, height, weight, partisan consideration, and genetic information.
The unit is charged with overseeing the Discriminatory Harassment complaint process, processing Reasonable Accommodation Requests, providing guidance on these topics, creating subject matter training, and creating policy on these subjects.
1. There are trained Discriminatory Harassment counselors located in each prison and fieldwork location that can answer questions regarding the complaint process and receive and process a Discriminatory Harassment Complaint.
2. Discriminatory Harassment training is required for all Department employees.
3. Through training and enforcement of the Department's rules against discrimination and harassment, staff in the Department's EEO office work toward ensuring an environment free of discrimination and hostility.
The EEO Officer also serves as a Reasonable Accommodation Coordinator and oversees and processes all Reasonable Accommodation requests for employees.
