Discrimination based on sexual orientation is unacceptable in Brown's work place and in the classroom. Discrimination against any individual member of the community or behavior that creates a hostile work environment or hostile learning environment devalues the entire University, severely limiting its potential by ignoring and disrupting the interdependence that exists among all its members. Such discrimination and behavior is simply wrong. Complaints will be kept as confidential as possible. Brown does not tolerate retaliation against persons who report incidents of discrimination or those who participate in University investigations of discrimination.
