For employees of Dartmouth College
Dartmouth Equal Opportunity Policy
Dartmouth College* is committed to the principle of equal opportunity
for all its students, faculty, employees, and applicants for admission and
employment. For that reason Dartmouth College does not discriminate on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity
or expression, national origin, disability, or military or veteran status in
access to its programs, organizations, and conditions of employment and
admission.
Dartmouth College's Equal Opportunity Policy (“Policy”) seeks to comply with
the letter and the spirit of the following laws: Titles VI and VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Executive
Order 11246, as amended, Equal Pay Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act,
Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Section 402 of the Vietnam Era Veterans
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, Sections 503/504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and/or any other
institutional document or policy relating to equal opportunity or affirmative
action practices. The Associate Director for EO/AA Programs serves as Dartmouth
College’s Section 504/ADA Coordinator.
Any employee or student of Dartmouth College who believes that he or she has
been subjected to a violation of the Policy may bring a grievance under the
Equal Opportunity Grievance Procedure. This includes any exempt, non-exempt or
union employee, faculty member, student employee, or applicant for employment
in Arts and Sciences, Dartmouth Medical School, Amos Tuck School of Business
Administration, and Thayer School of Engineering. Visitors or guests of the
College may also use the Grievance Procedure if they believe they are the
victim of discrimination prohibited by the Policy.
The Equal Opportunity Grievance Procedure most fully serves exempt and
non-exempt and service employees with discrimination complaints. Therefore, the
process described below focuses primarily on the specifics of handling
grievances by and against such employees. The exceptions that apply when
complaints are by or against students or against faculty members are explained
in a separate section. Federal and state law and College policy prohibit
retaliation against an employee who complains about a possible violation of the
Policy.
Grievants must register their concerns within two academic terms (six
months) of the alleged violation in order to have access to the entire Equal
Opportunity Grievance Procedure.
*Dartmouth College refers to the entire institution, including the
professional schools, graduate programs, and auxiliary activities.
