Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, does not
discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry,
sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, disability,
age, genetic information, atypical hereditary cellular or blood trait, marital
status, civil union status, domestic partnership status, military service,
veteran status or any other category covered by law in its admission, programs,
activities, or employment matters.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:

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:
