Human Resources: Discrimination and Harassment Complaint Information
Discrimination Complaint Procedures
A person who believes he/she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, political belief or affiliation, or veteran status may:
- File an informal claim either permitting or not permitting the use of his/her name, in an effort to resolve the matter.
- File a formal complaint without first filing an informal complaint.
- File a charge directly with the local, state, or federal agency having appropriate jurisdiction.
