The USF System strives to provide a work and study environment for faculty, staff and students that is free from discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, marital status, sex, religion, national origin, disability or age, as provided by law. The USF System protects its faculty, staff, and students from discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation.  The USF System is also committed to the employment and advancement of qualified veterans with disabilities and veterans of the Vietnam era. Unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation are prohibited in the USF System. Behavior that constitutes unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation is unacceptable.  (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/gc_pp/genadm/gc007.htm)
