Student Nondiscrimination Policy at BYU
Nondiscrimination Policy
Brigham Young University is committed to providing academic and employment environments that are free from unlawful discrimination. Unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, veteran status, genetic information and/or disability will not be tolerated. Harassing behavior based on a protected class that becomes so severe or pervasive that it creates a hostile environment is also unlawful.
The University’s Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Policy is found here and the Sexual Harassment Policy is found here.
Retaliation
The university also prohibits retaliation against any employee or student who (a) reports to the university a belief that unlawful discrimination is taking or has taken place, or (b) participates in any way in an investigation of a claim of discrimination. Retaliation will be considered a separate act of discrimination.
Students' Rights
Students are entitled to study in an environment free from unlawful discrimination. Any student, staff employee, or faculty member who unlawfully discriminates against a student on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, veteran status, genetic information and/or disability may be subject to sanction.
