Notice of nondiscrimination (BOR Policy and Regulation 01.02.020)
The University of Alaska does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color,
national origin, citizenship, age, sex, physical or mental disability, status as a
protected veteran, marital status, changes in marital status, pregnancy, childbirth
or related medical conditions, parenthood, sexual orientation, gender identity, political
affiliation or belief, genetic information, or other legally protected status.
When implementing this commitment, the university is guided by Title VI and VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Civil Rights Act of 1991; Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972; Executive Order 11246, and Executive Order 11375, as amended;
Equal Pay Act of 1963; Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and Age Discrimination
Act of 1975; Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974; Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990; the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act
of 2008; Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008; Pregnancy Discrimination
Act; Immigration Reform & Control Act; Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other
federal laws or Alaska Statutes which guarantee equal opportunity to individuals and
protected classes within our society.
The university's commitment to nondiscrimination, including against sex discrimination,
applies to students, employees, and applicants for admission and employment.
This policy therefore affects employment policies and actions, as well as the delivery
of educational services at all levels and facilities of the university. Further, the
university's objective of ensuring equal opportunity will be met by taking affirmative
action: i.e., making intensified, goal-oriented efforts to substantially increase
the participation of groups where their representation is less than proportionate
to their availability; providing reasonable accommodations to employees and students
with disabilities; and ensuring that employment opportunities are widely disseminated
to agencies and organizations that serve underrepresented protected classes.
