The University is committed to nondiscrimination and equal opportunity. The University is dedicated to providing educational, working, and living environments that value the diverse backgrounds of all people. The University outlines these commitments in its Equal Opportunity, Nondiscrimination, and Title IX Plan (“EO Plan”) and its Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy.
The University does not discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its educational programs and activities on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital or parental status, or Veteran status. The University prohibits discrimination or discriminatory harassment on all of those bases. Such behaviors violate the University’s Policy of Nondiscrimination (section 4 of the EO Plan), will not be tolerated, and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination or expulsion.
The University has appointed an Equal Opportunity Officer (“EO Officer”) to oversee its compliance of applicable policy, as well as the state and federal nondiscrimination and equal opportunity laws. Anyone with questions, concerns or complaints regarding discrimination, discriminatory harassment, or retaliation may contact the EO Officer.
Furthermore, the University does not discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its educational programs and activities on the basis of sex, including sex characteristics, sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or pregnancy, childbirth, and other related conditions, and prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that it operates, including as required by Title IX and its regulations. Such behaviors violate the University’s Policy of Nondiscrimination, may also violate the University’s Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy, will not be tolerated, and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination or expulsion.
The University has appointed a Title IX Coordinator to oversee its compliance of applicable policy, including compliance with Title IX and other state and federal laws prohibiting sex-based discrimination. Inquiries about Title IX may be referred to the University’s Title IX Coordinator, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, or both. To report information about conduct that may constitute sex-based discrimination or make a complaint of sex discrimination under Title IX, please contact the Title IX Coordinator.
