Title VI Policy

The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Title VI states, ”No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”  Title VI is also considered to prohibit discrimination based on shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics. Title VI protects anyone, regardless of citizenship or lawful presence in the United States. It also protects individuals from retaliation for filing a complaint, participating in an investigation, or opposing discriminatory practices. This policy applies to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors of Ģֱ (Ģֱ or University).

RVU is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students, employees, and visitors. Discrimination based on race, color, shared ancestry, or national origin is strictly prohibited. The University will take prompt action to address any complaints of discriminatory behavior to ensure compliance with Title VI.
