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
Joseph DiMichele, Director, Office of Student Conduct
(848-932-9414 or jd1072@echo.rutgers.edu)
Complaints against an Employee
Lisa Grosskreutz, Associate 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 at the
university, listed below are the staff members who have primary responsibility
for Title IX compliance:

Affairs (848-932-8576 or jackie.moran@rutgers.edu)
