The Office of Access, Compliance, and Community monitors and supports George Mason’s commitments to all-inclusive diversity and equal access to opportunity, as well as affirms a culture of integrity that values shared responsibility as a critical element of an inclusive and diverse academic community.
As members of the George Mason community, we are all tasked with behaving diligently and professionally in adhering to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and fairness by being respectful of the rights of others as well as protecting the privacy of confidential information and complying with laws, rules, and regulations.
To encourage such principles of diversity and inclusivity, we prohibit discrimination and harassment and provide equal opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment, regardless of race, color, religion, ethnic national origin (including shared ancestry and/or ethnic characteristics), sex, disability, military status (including veteran status), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, pregnancy status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law. These applicable laws consist of, but are not limited to Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974; Federal Executive Order 11246; Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA); and Virginia's State Executive Order Number Two. Further, it is the university’s policy that there shall be no retaliation against those who raise issues of discrimination or potential discrimination, or who participate in an investigation of such issues.
The University's Equal Opportunity Chief Investigator, ADA Coordinator, Title IX Coordinator, and Assistive Technology Initiative are all part of the ODEI portfolio.
