Adelphi University is committed to extending equal opportunity in employment, admission, educational policy and programs, student financial assistance, all University administered activities, and programs to all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national/ethnic origin, physical disability, or status as a disabled or Vietnam-era veteran.
In addition to meeting fully its obligations of non discrimination under federal and state laws, Adelphi University is committed to maintaining a community in which a diverse population can live and work in an atmosphere of tolerance, acceptance, civility, and mutual respect for the rights and sensibilities of each individual, regardless of differences in economic status, ethnic background, political views, or other personal characteristics and beliefs. In support of this commitment, it is the moral responsibility and the pledge of the University to protect all those under its care from any form of discrimination or harassment.
Acts of harassment, threats, vandalism, and violence are in themselves serious and morally objectionable, but when combined with overtones of discrimination and prejudice, they become even more offensive and reprehensible. Such acts as telephone or written harassment, physical violence, as well as the use of graffiti and other damage to property are considered crimes by the New York State Penal Code and thereby punishable by prison and/or fines.
Students encountering any form of discrimination or harassment should report these matters immediately to the Dean of Student Affairs. This office is prepared to address all inquiries as well as allegations of discrimination and harassment and will assist students to take appropriate follow-up action.
