Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination in Employment and Education
Hennepin Technical College is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in education and employment opportunity. No person shall be discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment, personnel practices, or access to and participation in programs, services, and activities. Harassment of an individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, or membership or activity in a local commission has no place in a learning or work environment and is prohibited.
This policy is directed at verbal and physical conduct that constitutes discrimination/harassment under state and federal law and is not directed at the content of speech. Cases in which verbal statements and other forms of expression are involved, HTC will give due consideration to an individual’s constitutionally protected right to free speech and academic freedom.
