Know your rights
November 15, 2013
From Mae Marsh, Director of Diversity and Equal Opportunity
Have you ever felt you were treated differently or bullied in your working or learning
environment? Board of Regents policy holds all university employees responsible for
maintaining a positive working and learning environment, and states that supervisors
and faculty must respond promptly to complaints of discrimination.
Discrimination occurs when you are treated differently or harassed based on one of
the following protected categories:
- race
- color
- national origin
- sex
- religion
- disability
- age
- genetics
- retaliation (e.g., for opposing discrimination, filing a complaint or participating in a discrimination complaint)
- sexual orientation
