Non-Discrimination Policy (including sexual harassment)

The University of Central Florida values diversity in the campus community. Accordingly, discrimination on the basis of race, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, marital status, parental status, or veteran’s status is prohibited.

Sexual harassment, a form of sex discrimination, is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment or enrollment;
Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or enrollment decisions affecting such individual; or
Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s work performance or enrollment, or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or academic environment.

Sexual harassment is strictly prohibited. Occurrences will be dealt with in accordance with the guidelines above and University rules. Employees, students, or applicants for employment or admission may obtain further information on this policy, including grievance procedures, from the Equity Coordinator. The Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Programs is the campus Equity Coordinator responsible for concerns in all areas of discrimination. The office is located on the Orlando campus, in Millican Hall 330, Orlando, FL 32816-0030. The phone number is 407-UCF-1EEO. Policies and guidelines are available online at http://www.eeo.ucf.edu/.
