Statement of Policy Weber State University is committed to providing an environment free from harassment and other forms of discrimination based upon race, color, ethnic background, national origin, religion, creed, age, lack of American citizenship, disability, status of veteran of the Viet Nam era, sexual orientation or preference, or gender, including sexual/gender harassment. Such an environment is a necessary part of a healthy learning and working atmosphere because such discrimination undermines the sense of human dignity and sense of belonging of all people in an environment. Discrimination and harassment are prohibited by Titles IV, VI and VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. They are also prohibited by the Utah Anti-discrimination Act. In addition, various other constitutional provisions, statutes and common law causes of action prohibit such discriminatory conduct. It is the policy of the University to enforce these laws among its students and employees Individuals who believe that they have been discriminated against should contact the Office of Equal Opportunity, Administration Building, Room 105, Weber State University, Ogden, Utah 84408, telephone 626- 6239; or the Office for Civil Rights, Department of Education Denver Region, Federal Building, 19th and Stout Street, Denver, Colorado 80294.
