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 ArmedForces 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.
