Notice of Nondiscrimination, Anti-Harassment, and Non-Retaliation

  1. UNO

The University of Nebraska does not discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, and/or political affiliation in its education programs or activities, including admissions and employment. The University prohibits any form of retaliation taken against anyone for reporting discrimination, harassment, or retaliation for otherwise engaging in protected activity.

The University is committed to ensuring equal opportunity and access for all persons, and providing academic and employment environments free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. The University adheres to all applicable federal and state laws regarding nondiscrimination, including, but not limited to, the following laws:

  • Age Discrimination Act of 1975 and Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, which prohibit discrimination based on age.
  • Equal Pay Act of 1963, which prohibits sex-based wage discrimination.
  • Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, which prohibits discrimination because of genetic information.
  • Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which prohibits discrimination against women because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a medical condition related to pregnancy or childbirth.
  • Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disability Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination based on disability. The University will engage in the interactive process with the individual and their health care provider to identify reasonable and effective accommodations.
  • Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin (including limited English proficiency).
  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
  • Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in education program or activities.

The University is required by Title IX and 34 C.F.R. Part 106 not to discriminate in such a manner. Title IX also prohibits retaliation against reporters of sex discrimination, including but not limited to reports of sex discrimination against administrators and other employees. Inquiries about the application of Title IX may be referred to a University Title IX Coordinator or the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights of the Department of Education or both. The University of Nebraska Board of Regents Policy 2.1.8 prohibits sexual misconduct.
