Reaffirmation of our commitment to equal education and employment opportunities |
Embedded in the fabric of our university is a shared mission and vision of excellence that is exemplified in our commitment to fairness, equity, and respect for all.
As president, I reaffirm our commitment to equal education and employment opportunities at UTHealth Houston regardless of one’s race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by law. This includes hair texture or protective hairstyle, and pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Discriminatory harassment, whether sexual or nonsexual, is strictly prohibited.
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 free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
Please join me in continuing to foster a climate of mutual respect on our campuses. Visit the Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOOP) to review the following policies and related procedures:
