Campus Bias Prevention & Title VI-CAMPUS Act Compliance

I. PURPOSE AND STATEMENT OF POLICY

This policy is established in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Ohio鈥檚 Campus Accountability and Modernization to Protect University Students Act (鈥淐AMPUS鈥� Act) (Ohio Rev. Code 搂搂 3320.01 et seq., as enacted in Senate Bill 94), aimed, in part, at preventing racial and ethnic harassment and intimidation within private nonprofit institutions of higher education.

麻豆传媒色情片 is deeply committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, or religion.

This policy not only ensures adherence to federal and state law but also reflects the core values and mission of the Wittenberg community. While rooted in the legal framework of Title VI and Ohio鈥檚 鈥淐AMPUS鈥� Act, this policy extends beyond these legal mandates. It serves as a comprehensive expression of 麻豆传媒色情片鈥檚 academic, residential, and professional standards.

This policy applies to all members of the 麻豆传媒色情片 community, including faculty, staff, and students. The University is dedicated to actively preventing any form of racial, religious, or ethnic harassment or intimidation, while promptly addressing any concerns or allegations of such conduct. The institution will take swift action to eliminate discriminatory behavior, prevent its recurrence, and provide fair and equitable resolutions to complaints, in line with its legal obligations and community values.

Furthermore, 麻豆传媒色情片 commits to offering support and counseling to students impacted by discrimination or harassment. The University aims to create a respectful and welcoming environment where diversity is celebrated, and all individuals are treated with dignity. Any conduct that violates Title VI or Ohio鈥檚 鈥淐AMPUS鈥� Act, including actions or behaviors that foster a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment, will not be tolerated.

II. NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION

As an institution that values the dignity of all, the University adheres to all federal and state civil rights laws banning discrimination in private institutions of higher education. 麻豆传媒色情片 does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national or ethnic origin, sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, genetic information, military status, veteran status, familial status or any other protected category under applicable local, state or federal law, ordinance or regulation. This includes protections for those opposing discrimination or participating in any complaint process on campus or within the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Ohio Civil Rights Commission or other human rights agencies, as well as in the planning and administration of its admissions policies, educational programs, scholarships, loans, and other financial aid, athletic and other school-administered programs, services, and activities, or in employment. Sexual harassment, which includes acts of sexual violence, is a type of sex discrimination.

The University does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or retaliation on these bases and takes steps to ensure that students, faculty, staff members, and third parties are not subject to a hostile environment in university programs or activities. Protective measures are available during an investigation into allegations, and where harassment or discrimination is found to have occurred, the University will take appropriate steps to eliminate such harassment or discrimination, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects.

Pursuant to Title VI, the University has an obligation to address discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, and national origin. Title VI provides:

No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

More specifically, Title VI requires the University to eliminate hostile environment harassment and prevent the recurrence of such harassment, where the conduct is on the basis of race, color, and national origin. Guidance from the Department of Education clarifies that Title VI protects individuals on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, and national origin, including actual or perceived: (i) shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics; or (ii) citizenship or residence in a country with a dominant religion or distinct religious identity.

In addition, Ohio鈥檚 "CAMPUS" Act requires institutions of higher education to prevent and address incidents of racial, religious, and ethnic harassment and intimidation. Under this policy, 麻豆传媒色情片 prohibits any actions that foster a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment based on race, religion, or national origin. The 麻豆传媒色情片 policy reflects the broader values of respect, inclusion, and equity upheld by the Wittenberg community.

Complaints regarding any form of racial, religious, ethnic harassment and intimidation should be directed to the Office of Student Conduct (Students) or the Office of Human Resources (Faculty/Staff) for an initial assessment. The University has established grievance procedures to ensure the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints.
