The university will not exclude any person from participation in its programs or activities on the basis of arbitrary considerations of such characteristics as age, color, disability, ethnicity, sex, gender, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
A student has the right to be free from such discrimination by other students that has the effect of interfering with the student’s ability to participate in programs or activities of the university.
