Welcome to UNT! Inya Baiye Director of Equal Opportunity, Title IX and ADA Coordinator

Diversity Statement The University of North Texas values diversity and individuality as part of advancing ideals of human worth, dignity and academic excellence. Diverse viewpoints enrich open discussion, foster the examination of values and exposure of biases, help educate people in rational conflict resolution, responsive leadership and prepare us for the complexities of a pluralistic society. As such, the University of North Texas is committed to maintaining an open, welcoming atmosphere that attracts qualified students, staff, and faculty from all groups to support their success.

Equal Opportunity UNT does not permit, and takes action to prevent discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, political affiliation, disability, marital status, ancestry, genetic information, citizenship or veteran status in its application and admission process, educational programs and activities, facilities and employment practices. UNT immediately investigates and takes remedial action when appropriate. UNT also takes action to prevent retaliation against individual who oppose a discriminatory practice, file a charge, or testify, assist or participate in an investigative preceding or hearing.

EO Policies 1.3.7 : Nondiscrimination/Equal Employment Opportunity, Affirmative Action, & Non- Retaliation 1.3.19: Sexual Harassment 1.3.23: Consensual Relationships 18.1.14: Disability Accommodation for Students and Academic Units

Title IX, Section 1681 of the Education Amendments of 1972 No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance

Title IX and Sexual Misconduct Harassment on the basis of sex, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, nonconsensual sexual contact, sexual exploitation, and relationship violence are forms of sex-based discrimination, because such misconduct potentially creates a barrier to education or employment opportunities

Sexual Misconduct, Relationship Violence & Stalking Reporting Obligation Employees who become aware of suspected sexual misconduct, relationship violence and stalking are required to immediately report the suspected violation to his or her direct supervisor and to the Office of Equal Opportunity. If a direct supervisor is the person alleged to have engaged in the inappropriate conduct, the report must be made to that individual’s supervisor and to the Office of Equal Opportunity.

Sexual Harassment By Hostile Environment Physical or verbal conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome, where The conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with a person’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for working, learning, or living on campus.

Sexual Harassment By Quid pro Quo unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, where: submission to or rejection of such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment or academic status; submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for an employment or academic decision affecting an individual. Ask them what quid pro quo means. Then ask for an example. Explain that what we care about is the power differential – we don’t want someone with power using that power to make others comply with their illicit wishes

Inappropriate consensual relationships UNT Policy 1.3.23 forbids consensual relationships between faculty and staff members in positions of authority and their subordinates or their students. Faculty members CANNOT date, sleep with, make out with, or engage in romantic pursuit of people they have direct authority over. If the relationship negatively impacts others in the work/ academic environment, both or either of you may end up as a Respondent in a sexual harassment complaint. Explain that a sexual harassment case could come from someone changing playing time of others to benefit their romantic or sexual partner, engaging in any sexual behavior in the workplace/ university facility, if the supervisor’s relationship drama made it difficult for others to function e.g. you fight and stop speaking to each other but other people need you to communicate to do their job.

Accommodations UNT MUST provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities and for religious beliefs. Consult the EO office for issues involving religious beliefs Consult ODA for issues involving disabilities Please do not make decisions about accommodations without the involvement and advice of these offices.

Retaliation There can be no retaliation against an individual for: Filing a good faith claim of discrimination Instituting any proceeding under or related to state or federal anti-discrimination laws Participating in a discrimination investigation or proceeding

Creating and maintaining an inclusive classroom All employees are responsible for maintaining an environment that is free of discrimination and harassment but this is only the beginning Create a vibrant learning environment that encourages all students to use their critical thinking skills Design your instruction with diverse backgrounds and abilities in mind Turn potential hot topics into powerful learning experiences AND interrupt and correct discriminatory behaviors/remarks when they occur in class
