###  Voluntary Self Identification

 As a lawful and responsible employer, Harvard is obligated to invite applicants and employees to voluntarily identify their sex, race and ethnicity, veteran’s status and disability. This information is used to measure Harvard’s progress against its:

- aim to be a fully representative and inclusive organization that provides equal employment opportunity
- annual affirmative action goals
- [hiring benchmark](https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/compliance/AnnualVEVRAABenchmarkEffectiveDates.htm) for protected veterans of 5.9%
- [utilization (or employment) goal](https://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/compliance/section503.htm) for Individuals with Disabilities (IwD) of 7%

 Though Harvard comprehensively re-surveys the workforce from time to time, all faculty and staff are invited to [self-identify online in PeopleSoft](https://peoplesoft.harvard.edu/) (Harvard Key protected) at any time.
