Nondiscrimination
Statement
The statement printed below is the University of Virginia's official
nondiscrimination statement. The Office of Equal Opportunity/Affirmative
Action requests that it be printed in University catalogs, all recruiting
materials (student and personnel), program brochures, and other
"official" publications from the University, such as annual
reports. It can be set in a smaller typeface and is usually positioned
on an inside front or back cover or in the first few pages of a
publication.
At
the request of the Office of Civil Rights, the University in 1988
expanded the official nondiscrimination statement: catalogs and
major publications must now carry the name and address of the Section
504 Coordinator and the Title IX Coordinator (as written in paragraph
two). In 1991, in resolving a complaint filed with the Office of
Civil Rights, the telephone numbers of the University's Section
504 Coordinator and its EO/AA Officer were added. In 1992, information
on the American Disabilities Act was added.
