About Discrimination

Discrimination is the unfair treatment of one person or group, usually because of prejudice about race, ethnic group, age group, religion, or gender. The University does not discriminate against students with disabilities in recruitment, admission or treatment after admission. The following are some helpful resources for disabled students dealing with issues relating to discrimination.
