These nondiscrimination revision updates are being released simultaneously with the Volume 40. No. 1 update package.
Policies 1422/3122/4122; 1422,01/3122.02/4122.02; 2260; 2260.01; 1623/3123/4123: Largely at client request and in an attempt to streamline the complex collection of Nondiscrimination, Anti-Harassment, and related issues, several of these policies have been consolidated in order to provide a comprehensive approach to related employment issues. The definitions included are consistent with related policies (e.g., Title IX – Policy 2266), and the grievance process is designed to be consistent throughout the investigation, decision-making, and appeal stages. Adoption of Policy 1422/3122/4122 allows for the deletion/rescission of six (6) policies – Policy 1422.02/3122.02/4122.02 and Policy 1662/3362/4362. Also included in this nondiscrimination update are the technical corrections to five (5) policies, correcting the address and contact information for the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights, formerly referencing the Cleveland Office (now closed) to the Washington, D.C. office.
