Notice of Nondiscrimination

Notice of Non-Discrimination

 

Barnard College prohibits any form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation against any individual based upon their actual or perceived membership in a Protected Class, which refers to a group of people with a common characteristic involving age, immigration or citizenship status, color, disability, sex, gender identity, marital status and partnership status, national origin, pregnancy and related conditions, race, religion/creed, height and weight, sexual orientation, status as veteran or active military service member, and any other applicable legally protected status.


 Such discrimination, harassment, and retaliation are prohibited in the administration of Barnard’s educational programs, admissions, scholarship and loan programs, and other programs and functions for students.  At all times, Barnard complies with Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, New York State Education Law 129-B, and other New York State and local laws that prohibit discrimination. 

Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation prohibited by this Policy compromise the integrity of the College and unacceptably interfere with the opportunity for all individuals to fully participate in the academic, work, and living environment at Barnard.  Barnard recognizes the human dignity of each member of our community and believes that all students have a responsibility to promote respect and dignity for others and to participate in an environment where no student is discouraged from or denied an educational opportunity because of any Protected Class.  The College is committed to fostering an academic, work, and living environment that is welcoming to all members of the Barnard community.
