SHRP POLICY

I.   PURPOSE
This policy is to reaffirm UMDNJ EEO Policy

II.   ACCOUNTABILITY
The Program Director and the UMDNJ Affirmative Action Office are responsible for this policy

III.   POLICY
The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey recognizes the value of diversity and is committed to providing appropriate support for all of its student body.

UMDNJ reaffirms its policy of conducting admissions, educational, and all related and supporting services in a manner which does not discriminate unlawfully because of a person's race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, physical or mental handicap, military status, marital status, or other factors prohibited by law. This is the governing principle in student admissions, other student services, and employment related activities.

UMDNJ commits itself to a program of affirmative action to encourage the application from minority and women students, to identify and correct the effects of any past discrimination in the provision of educational and related services, and to establish organizational structures and procedures which will assure equal treatment and access to the facilities and educational benefits of the University to all students.
