even"><p>As a premier learning and research institution, the University of Kansas must continuously address issues of diversity and multiculturalism. Every member of the university community is expected to engage in action that leads towards the development of a more democratic and inclusive community. Proactive efforts towards increasing diversity and the elimination of discrimination are necessary in our university.</p> <p>In accordance with Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Executive Order 11246, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, The Americans with Disabilities Act, the Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, the Kansas Acts Against Discrimination and all other applicable civil rights and nondiscrimination statutes, the University of Kansas prohibits discrimination.</p> <p>The University of Kansas prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, national origin, age, ancestry, disability, status as a veteran, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, gender identity, gender expression, and genetic information in the university's programs and activities. Retaliation is also prohibited by university policy. The following persons have been designated to handle inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policies and are the Title IX coordinators for their respective campuses: Director of the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX, <a href="mailto:civilrights@ku.edu">civilrights@ku.edu</a>, Room 1082, Dole Human Development Center, 1000 Sunnyside Avenue, Lawrence, KS 66045, 785-864-6414, 711 TTY (for the Lawrence, Edwards, Parsons, Yoder, and Topeka campuses); Director, Equal Opportunity Office, Mail Stop 7004, 4330 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Fairway, KS 66205, 913-588-8011, 711 TTY (for the Wichita, Salina, and Kansas City, Kansas medical center campuses).</p> <p>The University of Kansas is committed to the full participation of previously excluded or neglected classes of people. Thus, it is also the policy of the university to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, gender identity, and gender expression. The university's nondiscrimination policy extends to employment practices, conditions of employment, personnel actions and all other educational programs and activities of the university and its affiliates. It also extends to any retaliatory actions by an individual and associates that may arise as a result of a discrimination complaint. Leaders in the university community continuously examine all areas of the institution, make policy decisions, and implement strategies to eliminate and prevent discrimination wherever necessary. Reports of discrimination shall be evaluated promptly and acted upon in the manner deemed necessary by the appropriate faculty, staff, and administrators and as prescribed by the appropriate grievance procedure.</p> <h3>Equal Opportunity</h3> <p>The University of Kansas is also proud of its goal to help all individuals realize their potential. To this end, the university is committed to providing an equal opportunity for all qualified individuals to be considered for employment, benefits and conditions of employment, educational programs and activities, regardless of race, religion, color, ethnicity, sex, disability, national origin, ancestry, age, status as a veteran, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, gender identity, gender expression, or genetic information. University leaders and supervisory personnel shall recruit, hire, train and promote persons in all job titles utilizing only valid requirements related to the position functions. A university community that provides equal opportunity in hiring and all conditions of employment will make significant strides towards the elimination of discrimination. Thus, the University of Kansas applauds every effort to create a positive working and learning environment for all individuals.</p> <h3>Affirmative Action</h3> <p>In addition to providing a discrimination-free community and equal opportunity for all persons, the university is committed to taking specific, result-oriented steps to increase the number of historically underrepresented persons and increase overall diversity. Cultural and intellectual diversity are critical components of premier learning communities. Thus, the university will actively recruit and encourage applications from underrepresented group members and will endeavor to provide a positive and supportive environment for members of these groups.</p> <p>The university shall monitor its efforts to increase diversity through its Affirmative Action Plans. The university's Plans shall outline strategic initiatives and set goals to increase the representation of underrepresented group members.</p> <p>Paramount to the success of the affirmative action program are the actions of university leaders. University officials at all levels are expected to establish a plan and implement procedures that help to meet the university's goals. The Office of Civil Rights & Title IX staff are charged with the responsibility of responding to complaints of discrimination, monitoring university procedures regarding equal opportunity, setting goals, and monitoring and evaluating the university's progress towards its affirmative action goals.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-contact field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Contact: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div>Office of Civil Rights & Title IX</div> <div>Dole Human Development Center, Room 1082</div> <div>1000 Sunnyside Avenue</div> <div>Lawrence, KS 66045</div> <div><a href="mailto:civilrights@ku.edu">civilrights@ku.edu</a></div> <div>785-864-6414</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>For Medical Center Campuses Contact:</strong></div> <div> <div>Dorris Mbogo</div> <div>Director, Equal Opportunity & Academic Compliance</div> <div>Mail Stop 7004</div> <div>4330 Shawnee Mission Parkway</div> <div>Fairway, KS 66205</div> <div>913-588-5964</div> <div><a href="mailto:dmbogo@kumc.edu">dmbogo@kumc.edu</a></div> <div> </div> <div>or</div> <div> </div> <div>Natalie Holick</div> <div>KUMC Title IX Coordinator</div> <div>Mail Stop 7004</div> <div>4330 Shawnee Mission Parkway</div> <div>Fairway, KS 66205</div> <div>913-588-8011</div> <div><a href="mailto:nholick@kumc.edu">nholick@kumc.edu</a></div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-approved-by field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Approved by: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Chancellor </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-approved-on field-type-datetime field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Approved on: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2002-12-01T00:00:00-06:00">Sunday, December 1, 2002</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-effective-on field-type-datetime field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Effective on: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2003-02-01T00:00:00-06:00">Saturday, February 1, 2003</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-reviewcycle field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Review Cycle: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Annual (As Needed)</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-related-policies field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Related statutes, regulations, and/or policies: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><a href="/IOA/discrimination-complaint-resolution" target="_blank">Discrimination Complaint Resolution Process</a><br /> <a href="https://www.kansasregents.org/resources/PDF/Students/Boards_Statement_on_Free_Expression_031721.pdf">Kansas Board of Regents Statement on Free Expression</a><br /> <a href="/civil-rights/racial-ethnic-harassment-policy" target="_blank">Policy Against Racial and Ethnic Harassment</a></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-related-procedures field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Related Procedures: </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Any person who has a question regarding the applicable laws or policies, or who feels discriminated against, is encouraged to contact the Office of Civil Rights & Title IX, 1000 Sunnyside Avenue, 1082 Dole Human Development Center, Lawrence, KS 66045, phone 785-864-6414; email <a href="mailto:civilrights@ku.edu">civilrights@ku.edu</a><a href="mailto:ioa@ku.edu">.</a>; or, for the Medical Center: Dorris Mbogo, Director, Equal Opportunity and Academic Compliance Office, Mail Stop 7004, 4330 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Fairway, KS 66205, phone 913-588-5964, 711 TTY, email dmbogo<a href="mailto:nholick@kumc.edu">@kumc.edu</a>.</p> <p>Any person who would like to report discrimination on the basis of sex, or who has an inquiry concerning the application of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in the institution’s education programs and activities, should contact the KU Title IX Coordinator, Office of Civil Rights & Title IX, at 785-864-6414 or <a href="mailto:civilrights@ku.edu">civilrights@ku.edu</a>; or the KU Medical Center Title IX Coordinator: Natalie Holick, Associate Vice Chancellor for Integrity & Compliance, Equal Opportunity and Academic Compliance Office, Mail Stop 7004, 4330 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Fairway, KS 66205, at 913-588-8011, 711 TTY, <a href="mailto:nholick@kumc.edu">nholick@kumc.edu</a>.

Student speech or expressive activity that is offensive but not severe or pervasive is generally not a sufficient basis to support a finding of Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment. </p> <p>The University has a legitimate interest in holding employees (including administrators, faculty, and staff) to a higher standard than others with respect to unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that occurs in the workplace or otherwise pursuant to an employee’s official duties. Therefore, except as stated below, unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex by an employee that occurs in the workplace or otherwise pursuant to the employee’s official duties is prohibited, and may result in disciplinary action, if the conduct is objectively offensive, even if it is not severe or pervasive. In determining the severity of any disciplinary action taken for a violation of this paragraph by a University employee, the University will consider the severity and pervasiveness of the conduct at issue, the impact the conduct had on individuals subject to the conduct, any prior discipline for similar conduct, and any other relevant factors. </p> <p>Any other provisions of this policy notwithstanding, speech and other forms of expressive activity occurring in an academic or research context will not violate this policy unless the speech or expressive activity lacks a legitimate academic, educational, or research purpose.</p> <p><strong>Gender Identity:</strong> The gender that a person claims for oneself – which may or may not align with the gender assigned to the person at birth.</p> <p><strong>Gender Expression:</strong> How a person behaves, appears, or presents oneself with regard to societal expectations of gender.
