WSU Extension and Civil Rights
The USDA National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA), our federal funding partner, requires WSU Extension and WSU as recipients of federal funds to be in compliance with Civil Rights laws and to be able to demonstrate compliance through documentation. CAHNRS monitors civil rights compliance for 39 county Extension offices and one sovereign nation to ensure current staff understands our civil rights policies and procedures and the roles and expectations for each member of the WSU Extension team. This page contains the information, tools and resources you need as an employee, leader, educator, volunteer, etc., to ensure civil rights compliance.
