VII. Non-Discrimination/Harassment and Behavioral Health
These guidelines are interim only and are subject to revision, until we can complete consultation with the unions.
A. Non-Discrimination/Harassment
UH Hilo values and is committed to fostering a diverse academic environment. Discrimination, harassment, and intimidation based on one's race, national origin, ethnicity, genetic information, or any other protected characteristic are strictly prohibited. Reports of any incident of discrimination, harassment or intimidation should follow University procedures.
