Dear York Community
The City University of New York collects identity information about its faculty and staff to comply with affirmative action and equal employment regulations and for institutional planning purposes. We collect information related to gender, ethnicity, ancestry, veteran status, and disability status. We hope you will consider providing this information. Not only will this help CUNY comply with federal regulations, this information is useful to us as we fulfill our commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community. Providing self-identification information is voluntary. Your answers are maintained confidentially and are used to create mandatory reports and to develop effective affirmative action and/or diversity programs.
See the attached FAQ for details including technical instructions for accessing the related forms on the CUNYfirst self-service portal. In most cases, you will need less than ten minutes to update your information.
Thank you for your interest and your assistance with this important priority.
