[ Back to top ] Supplier Diversity ProgramNorthwestern University is committed to the goal of enhancing economic opportunities for minority-owned, women-owned, disadvantaged and local (Evanston) business enterprises (M/W/D/LBE). The University has adopted a policy of enhanced supplier diversity with respect to its own contracting and purchasing contractors, subcontractors, and vendors and will seek to assure that all of its contractors, subcontractors, and vendors abide by the spirit and intent of this policy statement. The inclusion of this policy statement is required in all major contracts and subcontracts. All major contractors and vendors will be required to submit a plan for diverse supplier opportunity for M/W/D/LBEs. The University is committed to a comprehensive program of M/W/D/LBE business development. The University wants to ensure that maximum opportunities exist for such firms. The University's dedication to quality undergraduate education, professional training and scholarly research is reliant upon the philosophy of prudent business principles, combined with enhanced opportunities. Its day-to-day challenge is to provide educational services with care and attention to customer service that is unparalleled in the higher education environment. Similar high standards will also be brought into action in efforts related to enhanced economic opportunity and participation by M/W/D/LBEs. Supplier diversity should be an essential element in any development process, and Northwestern University has established and implemented a rigorous, progressive, and innovative Supplier Diversity Program that serves appropriate sectors of the community. A Supplier Diversity Web site provides forms and more information on the Program. The Supplier Diversity Manager will assist contractors, subcontractors and vendors in the process. It is the policy of Northwestern University not to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, or veteran status and to take action to ensure that applicants and employees are treated fairly.
