All forms of unfair treatment are not illegal, so KUMC has numerous avenues available for pursuing the concerns of students, residents and employees. If the issues you present are outside our jurisdiction, we will refer you to the appropriate university office for further information and advice. If one or more of these factors are alleged to be the basis for an employment, admission, or academic decision , the context for illegal discrimination exists. Only certain types of decisions are covered by nondiscrimination regulations. Sexual and racial harassment falls into this category.
Sexual harassment is a type of sex discrimination.
The university must provide reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals with covered disabilities and for employees on the basis of their religion. We know that when you have a concern, you may be frustrated and angry. You are a member of a protected class, and have some reason to believe a decision or adverse treatment occurred because of your protected class. The decision involves a covered issue, or the treatment occurred in the academic or workplace environment. The entity you are accusing is a current employee, an individual or a company contracted to perform services for the institution, or an academic or administrative unit of the university.
