Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, prohibits
discrimination and harassment based upon race, religion, color, national
origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression,
disability, genetic information, atypical hereditary cellular or blood trait,
marital status, civil union status, domestic partnership status, military
service, veteran status, and any other category protected by law.
Discrimination and harassment compromise the integrity of the university and
unfairly interfere with the opportunity for all persons to fully participate in
the academic, work, and living environment of the university.
While promoting an environment free from discrimination is
everyone's responsibility, the following staff members have been designated to
respond to:
Complaints against a Student
Kevin Pitt, Director, Office of Student Conduct
(848-932-9414 or kevin.pitt@rutgers.edu)
Complaints against an Employee
Lisa Grosskreutz, Director, Office of Employment Equity,
University Human Resources (848-932-3980 or lisa.grosskreutz@rutgers.edu)
Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a Federal
law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. It reads:
"No person
in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation
in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment and sexual
assault. While it is often thought of as
a law that applies to athletics programs, Title IX is much broader than
athletics and applies to all programs at Rutgers. While compliance with the law is everyone's
responsibility, listed below are the Title IX Coordinators who have primary
responsibility for Title IX Compliance:
