Americans with Disabilities Act
Illinois State University formally reiterates and reaffirms its commitment to the principles of equal opportunity, affirmative action and diversity. Discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or veteran’s status is a violation of federal and state law and university policy and will not be tolerated.
Discrimination based upon sexual orientation is a violation of Illinois State University policy and will not be tolerated. This nondiscrimination policy applies to all programs administered by the University. However, this policy should not be construed to infringe upon the free exchange of ideas essential to the academic environment.
To the extent allowed by law, all employment decisions, including those affecting hiring, promotion, demotion, or transfer; recruitment; advertisement of vacancies; layoff and termination; compensation and benefits; or selection for training will be made consistent with established Illinois State University policy.
Responsibility for communicating, interpreting, and monitoring the University’s equal opportunity policy has been assigned to the Office for Diversity and Affirmative Action (ODAA).
The ODAA is located on campus in 208 Hovey Hall. For additional information concerning the University’s equal opportunity policy, please call (309) 438-3383.
