The Purchasing Department supports the university's commitment to the promotion of diversity with the vendors who supply goods and services to the university by:
- focusing on securing business contracts with firms identified as minority- and women-owned businesses
- meeting with representatives of minority- and women-owned businesses to discuss their offerings of products and services.
- actively providing minority- and women-owned businesses the opportunity to submit price quotations for procurement of products and services
