Policy H. Statement on Racism and Acts of Intolerance
Policy Statement:
The University of Connecticut Health Center affirms its dedication to
foster a community that condemns all forms of racist expression or acts
of intolerance including sexual harassment and intimidation. The UCHC is
committed to achieving a community comfortable with pluralism and free
from all forms of group-linked hostility. All employees, faculty and
students, as well as outside vendors and contractors, shall be held
responsible and accountable for maintaining an environment free from
sexual harassment.
Procedure/Keypoints:
• An act of intolerance is any form of abusive behavior directed toward
an individual or group because of race, ethnicity, ancestry, national
origin, religion, genetic information, gender, sexual orientation, age,
physical, learning or mental disability.
• To achieve this goal, the University of Connecticut Health Center
will:
a) Establish educational programs designed to enlighten our faculty,
administrators, staff and students with regard to diversity of
sensibilities that exist here.
b) Employ various media to inform the community of our commitment to an
atmosphere that encourages diversity and discourages intolerance.
c) Hold deans, directors, and department heads responsible for
informing their constituencies of this policy.
• An Affirmative Action grievance procedure exists to ensure that
appropriate authorities receive, investigate and resolve complaints.
This procedure may be used to adjudicate accusation of intolerant acts.
The Office of Diversity Programs is responsible for managing this
procedure. Complaints can be directed to Francine Dew, Manager, Office
of Diversity Programs, at
(860) 670-3563.
