EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY

Any discriminatory action can be a cause for disciplinary action. This policy applies to all University programs and facilities including, but not limited to, admissions, educational programs, employment, and patient and hospital services.

Coordination of the compliance efforts of the University of Washington with respect to all these laws and regulations is under the direction of the Assistant Provost for Equal Opportunity, Dr Helen Remick (hremick@u.washington.edu / 206-543-2624 / UW Equal Opportunity Office, Box 354560, 4045 Brooklyn Avenue NE, Seattle, Washington 98195).
