Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines

We are committed to protecting the rights and safety of University community members regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. Incidents of harassment or assault will be responded to with seriousness and sensitivity. University policies direct faculty, staff, and students to treat all people with dignity and respect. New York State law also contains special provisions for acts of criminal misconduct “ . . . that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. . .”.

The University of Rochester values freedom of speech as essential to our academic community. Although, as a private institution, the University is not subject to the First Amendment, it is committed, as a matter of policy and academic tradition, to protecting speech and peaceful protest on its campus. 它的建筑和场地经常用于大学赞助的活动，邀请外部演讲者和与会者.
