The University of Cincinnati is fundamentally committed to ensuring equal opportunity for all by providing an environment free from discrimination and harassment. The university reaffirms its policy that discrimination and harassment on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability, gender identity and/or expression, genetic information, military status (including veteran status), national origin, parental status (including status as a nursing mother and status as a foster parent), pregnancy, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by law (collectively, “protected class”) are prohibited in any of its activities, programs, admissions, or employment.
The University does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or retaliation on these bases and takes steps to ensure that students, employees, and third parties are not subject to a hostile environment in University programs or activities.
The University responds promptly and effectively to allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. It promptly conducts investigations and takes appropriate action, including disciplinary action, against individuals found to have violated its policies, as well as provides appropriate remedies to complainants and the campus community. The university takes immediate action to end a hostile environment if one has been created, prevent its recurrence, and remedy the effects of any hostile environment on affected members of the campus community. Additionally, in reviewing, investigating, or deciding whether there has been a violation of its policies, the University takes into consideration the definition of antisemitism set forth in Executive Order 2022-06D for purposes of determining whether the alleged act was motivated by discriminatory antisemitic intent.
