Clarion University’s Non-Discrimination Policy and Procedures manual is available at the Office of Social Equity, 207 Carrier Administration building, Clarion, PA 16214-1232, (814) 226-2109. The University’s Non-Discrimination Policy Statement is provided below:

1. The procedures described below apply to complaints alleging discrimination because of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation. These procedures are intended to ensure fairness and consistency in the University's administration of its policies and practices. Every good faith effort shall be made to resolve complaints through use of the University's administrative mechanisms. Complaints of sexual harassment are investigated under separate University procedures.
2. These procedures shall be applicable to all University employees and students located at the respective campuses and sites. Employees represented by collective bargaining units may, however, refer to the grievance procedures of their related bargaining units. Undergraduate and graduate students may refer to the hearing process set forth in the Student Code of Conduct.
3. It is the policy of the University that individuals will not be reprimanded or retaliated against for initiating an inquiry or complaint under these procedures. It is also the University's policy to recognize and respect the rights of any individual against whom a complaint has been filed.
4. In initiating or responding to a complaint, the complainant or respondent may be accompanied by a member of the University community. Nothing under these procedures is intended to abrogate the right of an individual to consult with his or her attorney.
5. Every good faith effort shall be made to maintain confidentiality throughout the complaint process. However, complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed under all circumstances.
6. Complaints reported anonymously may not result in an investigation but will serve to improve the University's knowledge of the extent to which there is a need to provide additional education relative to non-discriminatory conduct.
7. Any employee or student who believes that he or she has been unfairly treated, in violation of the University's policy, may institute the complaint procedures as set forth in the policy and procedure manual.
