The commitment of the University of Illinois to the most fundamental
principles of academic freedom, equality of opportunity, and human dignity
requires that decisions involving students and employees be based on individual
merit and be free from invidious discrimination in all its forms.
The University of Illinois will not engage in discrimination or harassment
against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
ancestry, age, order of protection status, genetic information, marital status,
disability, sexual orientation including gender identity, unfavorable discharge
from the military or status as a protected veteran and will comply with all
federal and state nondiscrimination, equal opportunity and affirmative action
laws, orders and regulations. This nondiscrimination policy applies to
admissions, employment, access to and treatment in the University programs and
activities.
University complaint and grievance procedures provide employees and students
with the means for the resolution of complaints that allege a violation of this
Statement. Members of the public should direct their inquiries or complaints to
the appropriate equal opportunity office.
