So
God created humankind in his image
In the image of God he created them:
Male and female he created them (Gen 1:27)
A primary assertion of both our religious and civil traditions is the
inviolable dignity of each person. Recognition of and respect for the person are
central to our life as a Christian and education community and are what allow us
to pursue our common mission while being many diverse persons. Thus
discrimination, harassment, and any other conduct that diminishes the worth of a
person are incompatible with our fundamental commitment as a Catholic university
conducted in the Marianist tradition.
Every person regardless of race,
color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability
shall be treated with respect and dignity. No person shall be subject to any
sexual, racial, psychological, physical, verbal or other similar harassment or
abuse, or be denied equitable consideration for access to employment and the
programs, services and activities of the University.
The quality of our campus life and
community is dependent on the conduct of each of its members. The university
expects that the behavior of employees will reflect civility, decency and
respect for oneself and others. While certain expectations are more fully
elaborated in specific policies, overall guidance should be respect for the
dignity of each person. Failure to observe these standards of behavior will
result in disciplinary action. Such failure is not limited to the regulations
specifically listed in this handbook.
