Discrimination and Harassment Prevention
Universities, particularly public universities have the responsibility
to provide leadership in enlightening social behavior. As SUNY’s
premier University Center, Stony Brook University is doubly obligated
to express and demonstrate its commitment to Equal Employment and Educational
Opportunity for all persons in our community, and further, to affording
all members, faculty, and staff an environment in which the integrity
of all is assumed and each individual is treated with dignity, respect,
and fairness.
In compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), Title
IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, The Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities
Act, Stony Brook University prohibits unlawful discrimination and harassment
on the basis of race, sex, age, color, religion, national origin, sexual
orientation, disability, marital status, or status as a disabled, military
or Vietnam-era veteran in the implementation of any of its policies,
procedure, or practices regarding the terms, conditions, and privileges
of employment for students, faculty, and staff. This non-discrimination
policy affects all employment practices including, but not limited to,
recruitment, hiring, transfers, promotions, benefits, compensation,
training, educational opportunities, and terminations.
This policy is cardinal to the University creating a community in which
a diverse population can live and work in an atmosphere of tolerance,
civility, and respect for the rights and sensibilities of every individual.
The University’s administration, faculty, staff, and students
are each responsible for creating and maintaining an environment conducive
to work, study, and learning. Harassment and discrimination in any form
prohibited by this policy impede the realization of the University’s
mission to provide an education of distinction in a dignified and respectful
learning environment.
Should any person believe that he or she has been discriminated against
or have any questions regarding the University’s policy or procedure,
please feel free to contact the Office of Diversity and Affirmative
Action at 632-6280.
