opportunity employer. The university will:
(1) Recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job
titles, without regard to race, color, creed, religion,

((disabled or Vietnam-era)) protected veteran.
(2) Ensure that all personnel actions such as
compensation, benefits, transfers, terminations, layoffs,
return from layoff, reductions in force (RIF),
university-sponsored training, education, tuition assistance,
and social and recreation programs, will be administered
without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national
origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and

Central Washington University is committed to affirmative

university's efforts to eliminate barriers to equal employment
opportunity and improve employment opportunities encountered

No person will be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity sponsored by the university including, but not limited to, admissions, academic programs, student employment, counseling and guidance services, financial aid, recreational activities, and intercollegiate athletics.
Programs may be developed by the university, however, for special student populations as affirmative action measures to overcome the effects of past discrimination.
No member of the university community shall treat
students differently because of their race, color, creed,
religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity and expression, age, marital status, disability
(except to provide reasonable accommodation), or status as a
((disabled or Vietnam-era)) protected veteran. The university
has established mechanisms to address complaints to
discriminatory treatment, including harassing behaviors (e.g.,
physical, verbal, graphic, or written) which might lead to the
creation of a hostile environment.
