This policy prohibiting discrimination and harassment applies to all members of the University community, and to discrimination and harassment based on any classification protected by this policy and applicable law, including race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, genetic information, disability, or protected veteran status. Discrimination or harassment by members of the University community based on any of these classifications is reprehensible and will not be tolerated by the University. It subverts the mission of the University and threatens the careers, educational experience, and well-being of students, faculty, and staff.

This policy is intended to be consistent with the academic mission of the University and with the legal requirements of applicable federal and state laws prohibiting harassment or discrimination, including, but not limited to, Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, which prohibits discrimination based on sex/gender in the University’s educational programs and activities, and requires equal and fair treatment based on sex; and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Missouri Human Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam-Era Veterans Readjustment Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and all amendments to the foregoing.

This policy also prohibits retaliation against anyone who asserts a claim of discrimination or harassment, participates in a discrimination or harassment investigation, or otherwise opposes unlawful harassment. Reprisal or retaliation against an individual for making a complaint of discrimination or harassment, or for using or participating in the informal or formal complaint process, is a violation of University policy, and any such action is cause for disciplinary action.

The Assistant to the President for Equity & Diversity is responsible for maintaining operating procedures related to this policy.
