Cornell University Equal Education and Employment Opportunity Statement
Cornell University has an
enduring commitment to support equality of education and employment opportunity
by affirming the value of diversity and by promoting an environment free from
discrimination.
Association with Cornell, either as a student, faculty, or staff member, involves participation in a free community where all people are recognized and rewarded on the basis of individual performance rather than personal convictions, appearance, preferences (including sexual or affectional orientation), or happenstance of birth.
Cornell University's history of diversity and
inclusion encourages all students, faculty and staff to support a diverse and
inclusive university in which to work, study, teach, research and serve.
No person shall be denied admission to any educational program or activity
or be denied employment on the basis of any legally prohibited discrimination
involving, but not limited to, such factors as race, color, creed, religion, national
or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age,
disability, or veteran status. Cornell University is an affirmative action/equal
opportunity employer.
Concerns and complaints related to equal opportunity in education and in employment based on aspects of diversity protected under federal, state, and local law, including sexual harassment complaints filed by any member of the Cornell community against an academic or non-academic staff member, as well as complaints arising under Title IX should be directed to the Office of Workforce Diversity and Inclusion, 160 Day Hall, Ithaca, New York 14853-2081 (Telephone: 607~255~3976, Facsimile 607~255~7481, Telecommunications Device for the Deaf, 607~255~7066, e-mail at equalopportunity@cornell.edu.
