NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION
from The Handbook of Operating Procedures, The University of Texas at Austin. 82a (September 1, 1990)
It is the policy of The University of Texas at Austin to strive to maintain an educational and work environment free from impermissible discrimination. In addition to compliance with applicable law, no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation regarding admission, employment, or access to university programs, facilities or services. External users of university facilities are also encouraged to observe the principle of equal opportunity consistent with applicable laws and governmental regulations.
The University’s Equal Employment Opportunity Office has been empowered by the President of the University to investigate complaints of impermissible discrimination in employment related matters.
The office of the Dean of Students has primary responsibility for responding to questions about and receiving student complaints of discrimination of or by students. Students who believe they have been subjected to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation should consult with the Assistant Dean of Students.
Additionally, students or employees may address questions or complaints to a department chairperson or other university administrative personnel within the department of administrative area in which such actions are alleged to be occurring. In such cases, the chairperson or administrator should immediately contact the Assistant Dean of Students or the Equal Employment Opportunity Office for consultation.
