The initial policy statement on the Workplace Harassment leaflet (the smallest one) contains information from the State's Workplace Harassment policy, but does not include information from UMW's Statement of Non-Discrimination, as it should. Reprints have been corrected and issued to new employees effective June 2006. The UMW Non-Discrimination policy statement is as follows:
UMW Statement of Non-Discrimination
The University of Mary Washington subscribes to the principles of equal opportunity and affirmative action. The University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, disability, national origin, political affiliations, marital status, sexual orientation, sex, or age in recruiting, admitting, or enrolling students or hiring and promoting faculty and staff members.
The University will not recognize or condone student, faculty, or staff organizations that discriminate in selecting members. Complaints of discrimination should be directed to the Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Officer of the University. (Adopted by the Board of Visitors. 5-10-91)
