In compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other federal, state, and local laws, Princeton University does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national or ethnic origin, disability, or status as a disabled or Vietnam-era veteran in any phase of its employment process, in any phase of its admission or financial aid programs, or other aspects of its educational programs or activities. The vice provost for institutional equity and diversity is the individual designated by the University to coordinate its efforts to comply with Title IX, Section 504 and other equal opportunity and affirmative action regulations and laws. Questions or concerns regarding Title IX, Section 504 or other aspects of Princeton’s equal opportunity or affirmative action programs should be directed to the Office of the Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity, Princeton University, 205 Nassau Hall, Princeton, NJ 08544 or (609) 258-6110.

As indicated, the University's non-discrimination policy applies to all phases of the employment process, including recruitment, interviewing, hiring, promotion, transfer, benefits, training opportunities, lay-offs, recalls, discipline, and termination. Supervisors who have questions about the Nondiscrimination Statement or the University's equal opportunity or affirmative action programs should contact a Staffing Specialist or the Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity.
