Addressing Discrimination and Harassment
It is against UMD Policy and against the law to treat people unfairly because of their religious beliefs, age, race, sex, color, country of birth, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, personal appearance, physical or mental disability, genetic information, political affiliation, or any other characteristic protected by law. Complaints of discrimination—unfair treatment based on any of the above categories—at the University should be directed to the Office of Civil Rights & Sexual Misconduct (OCRSM).
In addition, please be aware of the following resources that address different forms of discrimination and provide important information regarding your rights, including federal and state laws, definitions, and campus resources to assist students, staff and faculty.
