Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; Executive Order 11246, and Executive Order 11375, as amended; Equal Pay Act of 1963; Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and Age Discrimination Act of 1975; Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974; Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990; the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008; Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008; Pregnancy Discrimination Act; Immigration Reform & Control Act; Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other federal laws or Alaska Statutes which guarantee equal opportunity to individuals and protected classes within our society.</p> <p>The University's commitment to nondiscrimination, including against sex discrimination, applies to students, employees, and applicants for admission and employment.</p> <p>This policy therefore affects employment policies and actions, as well as the delivery of educational services at all levels and facilities of the University. Further, the University's objective of ensuring equal opportunity will be met by taking affirmative action: i.e., making intensified, goal-oriented efforts to substantially increase the participation of groups where their representation is less than proportionate to their availability; providing reasonable accommodations to employees and students with disabilities; and ensuring that employment opportunities are widely disseminated to agencies and organizations that serve underrepresented protected classes.</p> <p>The following person has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policies:</p> <p><strong>University of Alaska Anchorage</strong><br>Director, Office of Equity and Compliance<br><span>3190 Alumni Drive, Suite 352</span><br>Anchorage, AK 99508<br>Phone: 907-786-0818<br>E-mail: <a href="mailto:uaa_titleix@alaska.edu">uaa_titleix@alaska.edu</a><br>Website: <a href="https://www.uaa.alaska.edu/about/equity-and-compliance/">https://www.uaa.alaska.edu/about/equity-and-compliance/</a></p> <p><strong>University of Alaska Fairbanks<br></strong>Director, <span>ADA/504</span><span><span> </span></span>Coordinator, Department of Equity and Compliance<br><span>1692 Tok Lane, </span><span>3rd Floor Constitution Hall</span><br>PO Box 756910<br>Fairbanks, AK 99775-6910<br>Phone: 907-474-7300<br>E-mail: <a href="mailto:uaf-deo@alaska.edu?subject=">uaf-deo@alaska.edu</a><br>Website: <a href="https://www.uaf.edu/equity">https://www.uaf.edu/equity</a></p> <p><strong>University of Alaska Southeast<br></strong>UAS Title IX Coordinator<strong><br></strong><span>11066 Auke Lake Way, <br>Juneau, AK 99801</span><br><span>Phone: 907-796-6371</span><br><span>E-Mail:<span> </span></span><a href="mailto:uas.titleix@alaska.edu">uas.titleix@alaska.edu</a><br><a href="http://www.uas.alaska.edu/titleix">http://www.uas.alaska.edu/titleix</a></p> <p><a id="External Entities"></a>For sex discrimination claims or other inquiries concerning the application of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and its implementing regulations, individuals may contact the University’s Title IX Coordinator, or the Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights, or both:</p> <p><strong>UAA Title IX Coordinator</strong><br><span>3190 Alumni Drive, Suite 352</span><br>Anchorage, AK 99508<br>Phone: 907-786-0818<br>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:uaa_titleix@alaska.edu">uaa_titleix@alaska.edu</a><br>Website: <a href="http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/about/equity-and-compliance/">www.uaa.alaska.edu/about/equity-and-compliance/</a></p> <p><strong>UAF Title IX Coordinator</strong><br><span>1692 Tok Lane, </span><span>3rd Floor Constitution Hall</span><br>Fairbanks, AK 99775-6910<br>Phone: 907-474-7300<br>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:uaf-tix@alaska.edu">uaf-tix@alaska.edu</a> <br><a href="http://www.uaf.edu/equity">http://www.uaf.edu/equity</a></p> <p><strong>UAS Title IX Coordinator<br></strong>11066 Auke Lake Way<br>Juneau, AK 99801<br>Phone: 907-796-6371<br>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:uas.titleix@alaska.edu">uas.titleix@alaska.edu</a><br><a href="http://www.uas.alaska.edu/titleix">http://www.uas.alaska.edu/titleix</a></p> <p><strong>Office for Civil Rights, Seattle Office</strong><br>U.S. Department of Education<br>915 Second Ave., Room 3310<br>Seattle, WA 98174-1099<br>Phone: 206-607-1600<br>TDD: 800-877-8339<br>E-mail: <a href="mailto:OCR.Seattle@ed.gov">OCR.Seattle@ed.gov</a><br><a href="http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/howto.html">Website: http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/howto.html</a></p> <p>For employment or educational discrimination, students, parents, employees and applicants for employment may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education within 180 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory act.</p> <p><strong>Office for Civil Rights, Seattle Office</strong><br>U.S. Department of Education<br>915 Second Ave., Room 3310<br>Seattle, WA 98174-1099<br>Phone: 206-607-1600<br>TDD: 800-877-8339<br>E-mail: <a href="mailto:OCR.Seattle@ed.gov">OCR.Seattle@ed.gov</a><br>Website: <a href="http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/howto.html">http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/howto.html</a></p> <p>For employment discrimination, employees and applicants for employment may file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission at the below addresses within 180 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory act.</p> <p><strong>Equal Employment Opportunity Commission<br></strong>Federal Office Building<br>909 First Avenue<br>Suite 400<br>Seattle, WA 98104-1061 <br>Phone: 800-669-4000<br>Fax: 206-220-6911<br>TTY: 800-669-6820<br>Website: <a href="http://www.eeoc.gov/employees/charge.cfm">http://www.eeoc.gov/employees/charge.cfm</a></p> <p>For educational discrimination, individuals may file a complaint with the U.

Further, the University's objective of ensuring equal opportunity will be met by taking affirmative action: i.e., making intensified, goal-oriented efforts to substantially increase the participation of groups where their representation is less than proportionate to their availability; providing reasonable accommodations to employees and students with disabilities; and ensuring that employment opportunities are widely disseminated to agencies and organizations that serve underrepresented protected classes.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The following person has been designated to handle
