Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Policy

The College of New Jersey seeks to maintain a positive learning and work environment
for its students and employees. Such an environment can exist only if all members of the
campus community treat each other with respect. The College, therefore, prohibits illegal
discrimination including harassment based on another person’s status. Status refers to
race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, affectional or sexual orientation,
marital status, familial status, disability, nationality, or liability for service in the Armed
Forces of the United States. Discrimination in terms, conditions, or privileges of
employment or discrimination in academic enrollment, assignment, grade, or the
conferral of any academic or college-related benefit violates college policy.
It is the responsibility of all faculty, staff, and students to strive to create a campus
community free of all forms of discrimination. This policy, therefore, applies to all
employees and students.
Anyone who encounters discrimination is urged to report incidents to the equal
opportunity and affirmative action office as soon as possible.
