Non-Discrimination, Equal Opportunity, Inclusion & Title IX Statement

The University of North Florida (UNF) is committed to providing a welcoming environment for all who interact in our community. We welcome students, faculty, and staff from all cultures, abilities, backgrounds, and life experiences. UNF is committed to ensuring that educational and employment decisions, including but not limited to recruitment, admission, hiring, compensation, and promotion, are free from discrimination and based on the qualifications, skills and abilities of those desiring to work, study, and participate in our community.

In furtherance of these goals, UNF shall not commit or permit discrimination or harassment on the basis of age, AIDS/HIV status, citizenship status, color, genetic information, marital status, national origin, physical or mental disability, race, religion, sex, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or local law in any educational, employment, social, or recreational program or activity it offers. UNF prohibits retaliation for engaging in protected activity under civil rights laws or participating in investigations conducted by the Office of Title IX and Civil Rights. In enforcing its policies and regulations, the University will not abridge either free speech or academic freedom. 

The Office of Title IX and Civil Rights has the authority and responsibility to receive, investigate, and, where appropriate, attempt to conciliate complaints, or investigate situations or conduct alleged to be in violation of the University's Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Regulation and Sexual Misconduct and Title IX Sexual Harassment Regulation. Accordingly, any member of the UNF community who believes that they have been subjected to discrimination, discriminatory harassment, retaliation, sexual harassment or sexual misconduct may seek guidance, counseling and/or file a complaint by contacting:

Title IX Reporting Contacts

OTHER RESOURCES: Certain UNF positions, known as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are mandated under federal law to report crimes and their locations per the Clery Act, but not investigate or determine whether an incident is actually a crime. For a list of positions designated as CSAs, please see UNF Policy 1.0120P, titled Campus Safety and Security Reporting. Additional positions are also designated as “Responsible Employees" meaning they are required to promptly report allegations of sexual misconduct, as defined in Regulation 1.0050R, by or against any student, employee, contractor or visitor to the Title IX Coordinator or any Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
