The University of Alabama is committed to providing an environment for employees, students, and campus visitors that is free from illegal harassment based on genetic or family medical history information, race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, age, disability, protected veteran status, or any other legally protected basis. The University will not tolerate and will take action against individuals who retaliate against individuals who, in good faith, report violations of this policy or participate in investigations related to such policy violations. Information, questions, intervention training, and incident reporting are available on the University’s UAct website.
Information concerning UA’s Harassment Resources is available in the Harassment Policy. The University also employs an Executive Director, EEO & Title IX Programs that is responsible for UA’s Sexual Misconduct Policy. The Executive Director, EEO & Title IX Programs oversees the University’s compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The Title IX Office works with University Administration, departments, students, faculty, staff, campus police, and other support services to ensure that University policies and programs foster a campus community free of illegal gender discrimination and sexual violence.
Additionally, the University publishes the Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report. The report contains crime and fire statistics for the three most recent calendar years, details UA security and fire safety policies and procedures, and has information about where to request information about registered sex offenders. It also contains information about UA’s Sexual Misconduct Policy, Missing Residential Student Policy, and its Emergency Response, Notification, and Evacuation Procedures. A separate report is available at that same location for the Gadsden Center campus.
