Title
School of Law: Non-Discrimination Policy
Introduction
Purpose
This policy document affirms the UNC School of Law’s commitment to equal opportunity and compliance with UNC’s prohibitions on unlawful discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. It also directs inquiries about non-discrimination policies to the University Compliance Office.
Scope
This policy applies to applicants, students, staff, and faculty of the UNC School of Law.
Policy
The UNC School of Law is committed to equality of opportunity and complies with UNC prohibitions of unlawful discrimination and harassment. See the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Policy Statement on Non-Discrimination, which states: “No person, on the basis of protected status, shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation under any University program or activity, including with respect to employment terms and conditions.”
Accordingly, the School of Law fosters non-discrimination in opportunity for applicants, students, staff, and faculty, for example on bases of age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
The University Compliance Office (214 W. Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, tel. (919) 966-3576) handles inquiries regarding the University's non-discrimination policies.
