Marquette is committed to fostering a learning environment that is safe, conducive to academic success, and supportive of healthy personal development for all members of the campus community. Everyone on Marquette’s campus shares responsibility for maintaining this environment by following university policies and exemplifying respect for others as communicated through our Statement on Human Dignity and Diversity.

In accordance with federal civil rights laws, and consistent with Marquette’s commitment to human dignity, no discrimination or harassment will be tolerated. When an incident of discrimination or harassment (occurring on or off campus) is reported to an appropriate Marquette official, the university will respond immediately to stop the discrimination, remedy its effects, and prevent its reoccurrence. Students and employees who retaliate against individuals who report such conduct will be subject to disciplinary action.

As of August 1, 2024, the scope of this office has widened to include not only sex discrimination and harassment but also discrimination and harassment based on other protected characteristics when students are involved. Please see our Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment.
