Policy of Non-Discrimination

Pursuant to Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Executive Order 11246 as amended by 11375, and the Montana State Human Rights Act, Montana State University Billings has a policy of non-discrimination in employment practices and in admission, access to, and conduct of educational programs. Discrimination is prohibited on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, handicap, marital status, sexual orientation, or parental status. Montana State University Billings reaffirms its desire to create a work environment for all employees, and a study environment for all students, which supports, nurtures, and rewards career and educational goals on the basis of ability and work performance, regardless of sex.

Sexual harassment of employees by co-workers, superiors, or students or of students by students, staff, faculty, or administrators, which imposes a requirement of sexual cooperation as a condition of employment or academic advancement, is inimical to this environment. Montana State University Billings prohibits such conduct.

Montana State University Billings affords any student, employee, or applicant for admission or employment the opportunity to file a discrimination grievance. Inquiries or grievances by students regarding discrimination or harassment based on physical or mental disability should be directed to the Director of Disability Support Services, Academic Support Center, Room 1, at 657-2283.

Inquiries or grievances of any faculty, staff, or visitor related to unlawful discrimination and/or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, or veteran status should be directed to the Director of Human Resources, 1500 University Drive, McMullen Hall, room 310, at 657-2278.
