Is discrimination a serious problem at University of Nevada, Reno?
The University, as a large institution with more than 4,000 employees and more than 12,000 students, does receive numerous reports each year alleging unfair treatment based on race, gender, disability, national origin, and other protected class membership. An individual alleging illegal discrimination has the responsibility to report the behavior and to provide sufficient evidence of illegal conduct to sustain a complaint of discrimination under either Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (employees), or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (students). The Affirmative Action office takes all complaints seriously and will conduct an independent fact finding investigation to determine if the complaint has merit.
