    • Must satisfactorily complete EOU criminal and credential background check. Having a criminal history is not an automatic bar to employment.
    • In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire. Eastern Oregon University will not sponsor applicants for employment visas.
