The University of Connecticut supports all state and federal laws that promote equal opportunity and prohibit discrimination.

The University of Connecticut policy prohibits discrimination in education, employment, and in the provision of services on the basis of protected group identity (unless there is a bona fide occupational qualification related to employment), or any other unlawful factor. In Connecticut, protected class characteristics include race, sex (gender, sexual harassment), age, national origin, ethnicity, physical or mental disabilities, learning disability, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam Era, and any other group protected by civil rights laws.
