Discrimination Based on Veteran Status

As with other protected classes, veterans, including veterans with disabilities and Vietnam-era veterans, are protected from discrimination and harassment.

Where to go for Help

If you believe you are experiencing discrimination or harassment based on your veteran status, you are encouraged to contact the appropriate university official (dean, director, HR Representative, etc.) and/or the Office of Institutional Equity. There are also many resources on campus that provide assistance, support and information to individuals experiencing discrimination or harassment based on veteran status. If you are unsure which office to contact, contact the office that seems most appropriate, and that office will either assist you or help you make contact with a University office that can.
