Within ECRT, the Civil Rights and Title VI teams provide many resources to foster and support a campus environment that is inclusive, respectful, and free from discrimination and harassment. We are here to inform individuals of the various processes, supports, and resolution options that exist when they encounter conduct by a university employee, student or visitor that conflicts with the university’s values, specifically any potentially discriminatory or harassing conduct.
Please contact ECRT for assistance if you or someone you know has been subjected to discrimination or harassing conduct on the basis of:
- race
- color
- national origin (including actual or perceived shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics)
- age
- marital status
- disability
- religion
- height
- weight
- veteran’s status
Caste-based discrimination and/or harassment violates the university’s commitment to ensuring equal opportunity in educational, occupational, and professional advancement, and is prohibited under Title VI & VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In addition to addressing concerns, we also offer training and education to the campus community including supporting the university’s efforts to meet its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements under federal and state law.
