Nondiscrimination
The commitment of the University of Illinois to the most fundamental
principles of academic freedom, equality of opportunity, and human
dignity requires that decisions involving students and employees be
based on merit and be free from invidious discrimination in all its
forms.
The University of Illinois will not engage in discrimination or
harassment against any person because of race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, disability, sexual
orientation including gender identity, unfavorable discharge from the
military or status as a protected veteran and will comply with all
federal and state nondiscrimination, equal opportunity and affirmative
action laws, orders and regulations. This nondiscrimination policy
applies to admissions, employment, access to and treatment in University
programs and activities.
University complaint and grievance procedures provide employees and
students with the means for the resolution of complaints that allege a
violation of this Statement. Members of the public should direct their
inquiries or complaints to the appropriate equal opportunity office.
