Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality
Fresno State is firmly committed to policies of equal access to education and career opportunities for all genders and sexual identities, including providing support for female, gay, transgender, gender nonbinary and gender nonconforming students and employees.
Fresno State Gender Equality Initiatives
Fresno State strives to create and sustain a campus environment that supports and
values all members of our community. Over 20 gender inclusive restrooms are available throughout campus.
The Federal EEO legislation ensures qualified women, minorities, and those with disabilities
have fair employment opportunities. Fresno State's Human Resources program is responsible
for implementing EEO and diversity programs.
Consistent with federal and state statutes as well as executive orders, Fresno State's
Human Resource Department has committed itself to ensuring equal access and opportunity by providing reasonable accommodations to employees and potential employees.
Staff positions are placed into compensation classifications based on a review of the job's duties and responsibilities in relation to established
criteria. Employee-initiated and/or manager-initiated requests for adjustments to
the compensation (whether it be within or between classifications) are made according
to requirements and procedures established through the collective bargaining process.
The Workplace Quality Taskforce, composed of faculty and staff from across campus, is dedicated to addressing workplace
quality. Survey results from 2019 have been used to examine our strengths and assess
areas that require focus and action. The results are shared with units, schools and
colleges to facilitate the development of action plans to address areas for improvement.
Fresno State's Career Development Center is a full-service center that provides students resources to help with choosing a
major that lends itself to students future career goals, as well as career assessments,
resume training in writing and interview skills and internship and career opportunities.
In an effort to capitalize on student success, the Career Development Center also
holds job fairs, recruiting events and professional networking events. These are conducted
both on a university-wide as well as college-specific levels.
