As President, I reaffirm our pledge to base decisions on employment and promotion on the principle of equal employment opportunity. In addition, Courthouse Research Specialists, Inc. will ensure that all personnel actions will be administered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, citizenship status, Vietnam era or special disabled veteran status, or sexual orientation.

This Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action policy shall be implemented throughout the company. It is the responsibility of all departments and personnel to ensure the company's compliance. Monitoring and reporting procedures for faculty and staff have been instituted and in operation for some years.

At this company, Equal Opportunity Services has been established since day one to investigate allegations of discrimination. Complaints regarding impermissible discrimination should be brought to Mr. Richard Ortiz.

Equal Employment Opportunity is the law; discrimination is prohibited by the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Executive Order 11246, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, the Education Amendments of 1972, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Act of 1974, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Texas Labor Code, Chapter 21. Anyone who believes he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, citizenship status, or Vietnam era or special disabled veteran status may contact the United States Government's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (both of which are in San Antonio), or the Texas Workforce Commission, Civil Rights Division, which is located in Austin.

As company President, I commit this company to fulfill both the spirit and the law of Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action.
