“The University of Maryland, Baltimore (“UMB”) complies with state and federal law and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, national origin or ancestry, sex, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, physical or mental disability, marital status, protected veteran's status, or any other legally protected classification.” UMB Notice of Non-Discrimination
“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 educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) holds Respect and Integrity, Well-Being and Sustainability, Equity and Justice, and Innovation and Discovery as our shared core values. Any violation of a community member’s civil rights is destructive to and contradicts our core values. Sex-based misconduct can be particularly destructive, and federal law provides specific protections and processes.
Through our commitment to Respect and Integrity, as a community, we seek to treat every individual with dignity and civility. An inclusive and caring environment strengthens us throughout UMB.
The UMB community is called to provide for our community’s Well-Being and Sustainability. This means promoting a culture that does not tolerate harassment or any assault on human persons or human dignity, recognizing the harm that such misconduct causes both specific persons and, in time, our entire community.
UMB calls upon our all students, faculty, and staff to demonstrate their commitment to Equity and Justice, and an important way this is done is by speaking up about and reporting incidents of potential civil rights transgressions, including sex-based misconduct—incidents that anyone experiences and/or observes and/or reasonably suspects. We are just as committed to providing due processes and affording dignity to each person with whom we interact and irrespective of their status within any situation.
UMB supports efforts born of our commitment to Innovation and Discovery, including continuously finding newer and better ways to go beyond the base-level protections of laws, regulations, and policies to construct an ever-safer, more just, and better-informed community.
In working toward Civil Rights Resolutions & Title IX Compliance, we are vigilant in responding promptly and equitably to each reported concern with the goals of (1) stopping any incidences of any ongoing violations; (2) preventing such incidences from recurring; and (3) appropriately remedying impacts as practicable. We welcome opportunities to talk, to listen, and to offer useful concern and support!
For any form of alleged discrimination, including but not limited to sex-based misconduct or harassment, that you experienced or witnessed, report via the Hotline, contact OAC or the Title IX Coordinator. Reports can be anonymous. *
