All employees will be treated in a manner free of any bias or prejudice. No employment decision of any kind will be based on or influenced by an individual's race, color, creed/religion, ethnicity, sex/gender, age, national origin, genetic information, citizenship status, marital status, sexual orientation, disability (where otherwise qualified), veteran status or any other legally protected status. In addition, the College complies with state and local laws governing non-discrimination in employment in every locale in which it has facilities.

The College expressly prohibits any form of unlawful employee harassment based on race, color, creed/religion, ethnicity, sex/gender, age, national origin, genetic information, citizenship status, marital status, sexual orientation, disability (where otherwise qualified), veteran status or any other legally protected status.

  • Ensure that all decisions concerning the terms and conditions of employment, including but not limited to, decisions concerning compensation, benefits, transfers, reductions in staff and rehire, will be made in accordance with previously mentioned principles of equal employment opportunity (EEO).

Complaints of alleged discrimination or harassment may be brought using New York Institute of Technology's Non-Discrimination and Discriminatory Harassment procedure.
