Reaffirmation of UTHealth’s Commitment to Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action |
As we come to the end of 2020, we have the opportunity to reflect and take deliberate steps to continuously enrich the environment on campus to support our diverse and dynamic university community. To this end, as president of an institution that honors the contributions of those from all backgrounds, I reaffirm our commitment to equal education and employment opportunity at UTHealth regardless of one’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by law. Discriminatory harassment, whether sexual or nonsexual, is strictly prohibited.
Furthermore, the entire leadership of UTHealth is committed to ensuring that all aspects of employment, education, and university program participation remain free from unlawful discrimination and harassment. All employees are expected to comply with institutional policies and to ensure any actions involving faculty, staff, and students are carried out in alignment with our commitment to equal opportunity and affirmative action.
I ask you to join me in fostering a climate of mutual respect on campus in order to make possible the full and effective use of our diverse talents. Visit the Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOOP) to review the following policies and related procedures:
