Historical Note
Washington State University's Affirmative Action Office was established sometime before the Fall of 1972 to ensure the fair and equal hiring of minorities on campus as well as dealing with student and faculty complaints related to inappropriate comments and hate speech. In the fall of 1974, the Affirmative Action Office came under fire from several minority groups on campus for failing to respond to the needs of the diverse WSU student body. Some time between 1974 and 1993, the Affirmative Action Office was restructured as the Center for Human Rights. The Affirmative Action Office is currently known as the Compliance and Civil Rights Program and is charged with overseeing Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Programs.
