Reaffirmation of UTHealth Houston’s Commitment to Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action |
As we reflect on 2022, we can be proud of the steps UTHealth Houston has taken to support and value inclusion, equity, and diversity. As president, I reaffirm our commitment to equal education and employment opportunities at UTHealth Houston 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.
We would like to take this occasion to reiterate our university’s commitment to fairness, equity, and respect for all. We are stronger together, and we need each of you—your diverse talents, skills, and perspectives—to achieve our shared mission. To this end, the leadership of UTHealth Houston 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, trainees, 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:
