Discrimination & Harassment

Discrimination and Harassment Have No Place at UND

The University of North Dakota is committed to preventing and addressing discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in its academic, working, and living environments.  

Diversity and inclusivity are two of UND's core values. The Equal Opportunity & Title IX Office supports these values by providing care and support for individuals impacted by discrimination or harassment and by addressing behavior that violates our policies. 

UND's Discrimination and Harassment Policy prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin,age, disability, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, genetic information, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law.  

If you feel you have been treated unfairly, Equal Opportunity & Title IX staff can help you understand your options and the support and resolution resources available for you.

NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATION & EEO POLICY STATEMENT

We Are Here To Help

If you have experienced discrimination or harassment or need to make an accommodation request, please contact us. 

Where to go for Help REPORT
DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT REQUEST AN ACCOMMODATION

Confidentiality

Respecting your privacy is important. Information regarding reports of discrimination or harassment and accommodation requests will only be shared with people who need to know so they can help. If a formal complaint is filed, then the respondent will be informed. However, making a report or contacting the EO & Title IX Office is not the same as making a report, and supportive measures are available even if no formal complaint is filed. 

Retaliation Prohibited

We can't address a concern if we don't know about it. UND employees and students should feel confident that they can report behavior that violates our policies or ask for help without fear of retaliation.  Retaliation against a person because they made a report or participated in an investigation is prohibited and will be grounds for disciplinary action. 

Safeguarding UND Is Everyone's Responsibility 

Managers and supervisors must share information about suspected incidents of discrimination or harassment with the EO & Title IX Office.

Please reach out to the EO & Title IX Office if you have any questions or concerns about UND's nondiscrimination and harassment policies, procedures, or resources.
