Mount St. Joseph University (“the University”) is committed to providing an educational and employment environment free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other minority or protected status.

Mount St. Joseph University Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination Policy

The University’s Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination Policy focuses on incidents of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation related to race, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, or other legally protected statuses. This policy applies to all University community members, including students, prospective students, employees, professors, administrators, visitors, or other third-parties.   In addition, this policy also applies to all of the University’s education programs and activities, including but not necessarily limited to admissions policies, educational programs, scholarships, loans, and other financial aid, athletic and other University-administered programs, services, and activities, or in employment. Not only does this policy apply to conduct occurring within the typical classroom or campus settings, but also to any location owned or operated by the University as well as University-sponsored or University-sanctioned functions taking place outside of those typical settings.

The University expects that all members of its community will help promote a learning and work environment free from the conduct prohibited under this policy, which is described in detail in the policy and can be accessed at clicking here for Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination Brochure. Any off-campus conduct that has an actual or potential adverse impact on another’s working or learning environment may also violate this policy. The University will consider the effects of off-campus conduct—including conduct that did not occur in the context of an education program or activity—when evaluating whether there is a violation of this policy. 

All inquiries regarding the scope or application of this policy should be referred to the Chief Human Resources Officer, Teri Compton, (513) 244-4979, teri.compton@msj.edu

Similarly, any employee found in violation of this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Behavior that violates this policy may also violate federal, state, and/or local laws.
